if u add oreo cookies it gives it a rather nice taste and experience to enjoy!!!!! about 1 year ago by 06woodc

If you add a quartered bell pepper when you add everything to the pot it adds tremendous flavor. about 1 year ago by billykilpatrick

I found this to be rather bland so I used a can of stewed tomatoes Italian blend. Even with this addition it still needs some more seasoning. I will add mushrooms next time. With a little practice this could be a winner! over 6 years ago by jeanr
