Add the mushrooms and green pepper ad cook for an additional 5-10 minutes depending on how you like your green peppers. I like mine firm so 5 minutes for me is plenty.
• Great with rice, corn bread, cheese bread or by itself! Can be made in a crock pot - simply put the potatoes on the bottom, then the rest of the veggies, then the meat and the rest of the ingredients - set on 6 hours on high or 8 on low.
