GREEN PEPPERS WITH TOMATO SAUCE



Green Peppers With Tomato Sauce image

Adopted! No comments from original poster. QDM: I will make this recipe and try to make the instructions a little clearer on amounts and procedures. Am not, however, grating the tomatos. Will do a dice, instead. Will post, after some experimentation. I agree with Lauralie, there is no reason to peel the tomatoes unless you really object to the skins.
