Made this last night and don't think it worked out. Incredibly watery. I had pictured something saucy. Several hours of simmering turned the celery and peppers into mush. The main complaint was that it was bland and didn't taste like anything. Maybe just not our style, but we're not making it again. - 3/6/09
