This was a very tasty dish. We ate it for breakfast and it was a nice change from the usual cereal & toast. I used 2 large tomatoes, and used a few celery flakes instead of the stalk celery (picky eaters). I added the onions and peppers and allowed them to saute a few minutes before reducing the heat and adding the tomatoes. Thank you for sharing this family favorite.
