To begin making this delicious recipe you will need two tablespoons of butter or margarine, half a cup pf thinly sliced onion, half a cup of sliced green peppers, one clove of garlic mashed, one can or one pound of tomatoes, two teaspoons of salt, 1/8 teaspoons of pepper i use cayenne pepper because I like mine to be a little spicy, two bay leaves, eight ounces about (three cups) of Muellers dumpling macaroni.
