I was telling my friend Barb about the abundance of tomatoes in my garden..so she shared this recipe with me. I don't really enjoy eating tomatoes but she told me to try this recipe, she said it was really good. And she is right..it is really good:) It's a nice quick lunch esp if you have tomatoes ripening faster than you know what to do with. I could use more recipes using tomatoes!!

  • 1 medium sweet green pepper, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

White Sauce:
  • 2 tablespoons butter
