Directions
Place green beans, onions and garlic in a 4-quart slo-cooker. Mix all of the remaining vegetables in a large bowl, and add them to the slo-cooker. Combine the tomato sauce, bouillion, olive oil, and the seasonings, and pour over the veggies. Mix the top layer of veggies slightly with the sauce.
