It really depends on your crock ... I have one that seems to heat more and boils things down drier than the other. OTH this could make for a really nice creamy mixture ... lots of people do make scalloped potatoes in the crock.
I'd probably add more veggies, if the sauce was the issue. Peas go icky coloured when overcooked, so I'd maybe microwave some at the end and add in, if there was just too much sauce for the veggies.
