Gosh! I loved this. I don't put it in the oven at all. I do it all on the stove top. We have added everything from olives, capsicum, carrot, bacon, Italian saussage and chinese saussage... not all at once though. But like any great recipe, it is a base that you can add to and change if you want. My 3yo and 1 yo love it too. Very versatile.
