Made this dish and found the flavors to be very subtle, and too bland for my taste. It would be great with the addition of some black pepper and a little spice. It took me 45 minutes to get it to the point where I was supposed to bring it to a boil, but I had to double it for my family, so I had to fry 12 slices of bacon and cut up double the vegetables. Because of that, I found it too time involved to make the taste worth the trouble. Because of the extra liquid, it took extra time to cook, and never really thickened the way I wanted it to.
