Oops! Forgot to type in that i sauted the celery with the onion!

i just don't have much luck with onions, celery, or bell peppers

coming out the way i like in a crockpot recipe unless i do

pre-cook them a bit first. Somehow, i guess depending on the

onion or celery used, they can stay over-powering flavored.

Anyone else here a crockpotter and notice that?

Same here PT unless I chop them super super fine and even then

sometimes the celery taste is too strong or the onions have a crunchy

texture. Looking forward to trying your meatball stew recipe; looks

good!

 

Peace,
