This was really good.. I skipped the zucchini because I'm not a fan. Next time I'll add less onion and more mushrooms. Thanks we really enjoyed it.

Delicious! Perfect comfort food! Made this for PAC 2006. Only changes made were using a bit of hot pepper flakes and using red peppers instead of green (because that's what I had on hand!!). Thanks Luv 2 Bake - this was a wonderful Sunday night supper!

Great recipe...didn't miss not having meat...I didn't have carrots so I omitted them and upped the other vegetables to make up for the cup of carrots...will try it with the carrots next time...I gave some to a vegetarian co-worker to try...I'm sure she will sing it's praises also!!! Thanx LUv2BaKE for posting!!!
