    I made this for dinner tonight and added 1 onion, chopped in large pieces with the garlic. It was wonderful and makes a HUGE amount. I might add another can of the tomatoes next time to have it a little more saucy. I love lots of tomatoes! - 1/26/09

    Family enjoyed this - added some zucchini to it. Said it was good, but didn't think it would be added to our round of meals we use. The idea of using a crock pot for pot-lucks sounds like a winner. Thanks for the recipe. - 1/5/09

    This sounds good. I am going to try it although I have never had portabello mushrooms before but I like mushrooms so I think it will probably add a little flavor to it. - 1/1/09
