This recipe made 50 biscuits! It took a long time to dice and shred 4 cups of vegetables, and mix the liquids into the dries. Much longer than 1 hour 15 minutes. For all the stiff mixing and the veg prep, I don't think the flavor justifies the work. If I ever make this again, it will be with help in the kitchen!

Made this last night, and the flavors were fantastic! Be forewarned - this makes a LOT of mix. When the recipe says "feeds 15 hungry sailors" it really means it. I would definitely make this again, but half or quarter the recipe.
