"This WOULD be a good recipe IF it had more seasonings besides a little black pepper! I had to add garlic juice and "Spike" seasoning. It's way too bland without them. I tasted the vegies during eac..." See moreh stage of cooking and adding, and did the seasoning then. My husband and my 14 year old son liked it this way, though my husband added even more Spike."
