Serves: 8

• 8 to 10 beefsteak tomatoes, peeled and cored

• 4 carrots, peeled and diced small
• 1 large Vidalia onion, minced
• 1/4 green bell pepper, diced

• 1/2 yellow bell pepper, diced
• 2 sticks celery, minced
• 10 button mushrooms, peeled and sliced thick

Preparation method

Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 4 hours

1. Place peeled & cored tomatoes in big saucepot. Smash with “potato smasher” till chunky. Add the rest of the ingredients, everything but sugar.
2. Bring to bubble boil and place on low, stirring every 20 minutes, simmering for about 4-5 hours. It will be thick and chunky when it’s done.
3. Taste and if it’s not sweet enough, add the sugar. You won’t have to, probably, if you used the freshest ingredients!Hint
