Ingredients
  

  • 8 large smooth tomatoes
  • 2 green peppers
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 ½ pints milk
  • 1 large onion
  • 1 ½ tbsp sugar
  • flour

Instructions
 

  • Wash tomatoes, do not peel, slice piece from top of each and scoop out a little of the tomato.
  • Cut peppers in two lengthwise and remove seeds—place in cold water.
  • Sprinkle a little sugar and a little salt over each tomato and place in good sized baking dish.
  • Put onion and peppers through meat chopper. Put ground onion and ground peppers on top of tomato.
  • Put butter in skillet and when melted, not brown, stir in flour until a paste is formed. Add gradually the milk as you would for cream dressing, stir constantly.
  • The dressing must be very thick to allow for the water from the tomatoes. Put this sauce around the tomatoes, not on top and place in a moderate oven to bake about one hour slow.

Notes

Serve if possible in the same dish in which it was baked as it is very attractive.
