This was one of my favorite meals growing up. I loved to go to the garden and pick green peppers for this particular meal. Just the smell of them takes me back to mom’s garden…
This is a great way to use any late season peppers and tomatoes.
I originally posted this recipe last season but I just had to share it again!
