I don't like going into a new recipe blind so I read other's reviews and seasoned, seasoned, seasoned! I used poultry seasoning, seasoned salt, white and black pepper. I also added one stalk of celery to the veggie mix to simmer. While the crescent rolls finished cooking, I put the noodles in and let them soak up the sauce a bit. My crew liked it and wouldn't mind having it again, thank you!
