This recipe has some real potential, But the directions tell you to cook the veggies and put them aside. It never tells you want to do with them after that. I put them in dutch oven on step 6 with everything else. I tried to contact the author but the website does not allow you unless you pay them.

Let me add my 5 stars as well. This was really good. Really! I didn't change much--only added a little more heat with some crushed red peppers and some more tomato action with a few sun dried tomatos. This one is a keeper. Thanks for posting.

Another round of 5 stars here! The whole family loved it and my dh couldn't get enough. Simple, yet very tasty. I only used 1 onion and made it in my dutch oven. It will be made often. Thanks for sharing.

Fabulous! 5 stars all around the table.I followed the recipe exactly (except for a little extra oregano) and made the whole works in my Dutch oven. Like that one-pot deal! Real comfort food. I will be making this again - or my family may throw me out on my ear! Thanks.
