We had fresh green peppers from our garden and wanted to try this recipe. We were very pleased. We used some green onions I had, left out the celery because I didn\u2019t have any and used some cut-up leftover steak from Cheesecake Factory! That will always enrich your recipe! <\/p>
I had been canning our garden tomatoes so I used some extra juice from there in place of the commercial tomato sauce. I also added grated cheddar cheese to the mix.<\/p>
I liked everything ending up in the large saucepan. That was convenient. I will definitely make this again .
