Old Fashioned Stewed Tomatoes

Step 1

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add chopped green peppers and onion, and cook until translucent, approximately 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add minced garlic, and cook for 1 minute.

Step 4

Add tomatoes, sugar and water, and simmer until tomatoes begin to fall apart, approximately 20 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in bread cubes. Start with 2 slices of bread that have been torn into 1-inch pieces, and if the mixture seems soupy, add an additional slice. Cook until bread barely holds it shape.

Step 6

Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
