All-In-One-Pan Roast and Vegetables

Description: I found this recipe in a magazine and thought I would give it a try. I made two changes - 1. one green pepper in place of a red (next time I will stick with red only) 2. Italian seasoning in place of thyme. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly. The smell of this cooking was so wonderful. My dh came down about 10 minutes after I put the pan in the oven and wondered WHAT smelled so good and "did I have anything he could munch on while he waited????" Ha Ha! Anyway, when it finally came out of the oven, we were not disappointed.
