I loved this recipe. It was quite tasty! If it had a little more soup to it then it would be a little better. The blend of veggies and meat, with the picante sauce is delicious. Great recipe! Thanks for sharing!!

This was a good recipe - my only suggestion would be to add 1/2 or 1 C of water. Ours was pretty dry, and we cooked it in a really nice slow cooker for less than the allotted time. Otherwise, it tasted great and I'll probably make it again :-)
