Categories     Tomato     Quick & Easy     Simmer

Yield 4-5 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 med-lg. Green Peppers
2-3 med. Yellow Onions
1 Lg. 28oz can Whole Tomatoes
1 reg. 15oz can Tomato Sauce
1 pack 8-count beef Hot Dogs
1/4 cup Olive Oil
Basil
Garlic Powder (fresh use 5 cloves of garlic)
4-5 Whole Bay Leaves
1 Heaping Tbsp Dark Brown Sugar (or white sugar)

Steps:

  • Heat Large Skillet or Electric Skillet on High with Olive oil. Slice wieners 1/2" thick and brown on both sides. AFTER WIENERS ARE BROWNED - Turn heat down to medium-low. Slice peppers 1/2" thick in long slices right into the pan & slice onions 1/4" thick into the pan and let them cook down some for about 3-5 minutes while covered losely.(It may seem that this is too much for the pan but remember the volume of the peppers & onions will cook down 75% or more.) Now pour whole tomatoes right into the pan and break up tomatoes by squeezing each one or cut each one open. Careful for they will pop and splash all over. Pour in tomato sauce and sprinkle a layer over the entire top of the skillet with basil do the same with garlic powder or chop your fresh garlic into mixture. Sprinkle sugar over the top. Using a wooden spoon push spices below sauce without breaking up the peppers, push bay leaves into the sauce, turn heat down to simmer or lowest setting, cover tightly and simmer for about 20 minutes to half hour stirring once to ensure bottom does not scorch or burn. This should make about 4 hefty servings. Serve with Fresh Italian bread and butter! The flavor is so unique and different from anything else. You will love this recipe for it is delicious, fast, easy and cheap! Follow this recipe first before trying other variations of your own. I use red & green peppers together, but always make sure at least half of your peppers are green, because the flavor of the green are more pungent than any other color. Sometimes I'll use half turkey franks and half all beef. The flavor of the all beef incorporated with the green peppers and tomatoes is a perfect combination. Enjoy :o}
