• 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.
