Wow....GREAT tasteMarch 30, 2008By cdcounselor
"I used turkey bacon so there wasn't a lot of greasy drippings so I added the olive oil directly into the crock pot when assembling the ingredients. I cooked the veggies in the pan with 1/4 cup of the broth....and then added another 1/4 cup of broth to the crock pot. What a sensational dish....oh...and this being winter...no green onions available so I cut up a yellow onion in eights and added that....I like my veggies chunky. I will CERTAINLY make THIS again!"
