Very good will make it again. Don't have crock pot so sauteed green pepper and onion a little before finishing in the oven. Easy tasty. - 11/5/09

If you use frozen green pepper and dried onions, it is quicker and the taste is the same. Glad you liked it.
HOWEVER, the number of servings depends on how much water you add. To be on the safe side, use 12 servings instead of 16, bringing the cals to about 132/cup. Still low cal!
