I really wanted to like this recipe. Soo bad. The other reviews are right about it being bland.. I put extra of everything and added paprika, still barely any flavor. We ended up just adding seasoning salt so we could eat it. I will also say, I cooked this on low for 6 hours and the potatos and green beans were still pretty hard.. I did another hour on high and its a little better but still not as soft as I'd like it but oh well I'm hungry. I used Yukon gold so i will take responsibility for the potatoes, maybe they needed a different cook time. I wasn't sure how to improve this... I used fresh lemon juice and you can't really even tell. I'm not even sure how to improve this recipe.
