Ingredients

3 lbs green peppers or 3 lbs yellow peppers, but not bells, quartered

1 large onion, diced
3 -4 tablespoons oil
2 slices bacon (optional)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

Cut bacon slices into smaller pieces and fry them in the same pot you're going to use for cooking the stew.

Stirring constantly, cook for a couple of minutes.
Add tomatoes.
Add a cup of water.
Cover pot and simmer until peppers are done to your taste, 10-20 minutes.

You might also have to add more water during the cooking process or evaporate extra liquid at the end. This depends on how juicy the tomato was and on the way you're going to serve the dish.
If you like sausages, add about 1 lb. of sliced Polish Sausages or mini-smokes to the browned onions. Do not use uncooked sausages.
Stir and fry sausages for 5 minutes before adding the peppers. Add less salt to the dish.
You can thicken the stew with one or two eggs (scramble them first) at the end of the cooking process. Mix well.
