I didn't have fresh peppers but used frozen stir fry veggies. The kids licked the pot clean!

This was an awesome recipe! It even tasted good when it was leftover, and the flavor was so wonderful my roommate didn't cover it in salt or pepper like she does everything. The onions taste wonderful with the sauce. College student tested and approved!

This is a really fast recipe to make, I didn't have a full 1/2 cup of BBQ Sauce so I added a llittle water to it to make it and it was excellant. Will make this again, and daughter that is allergic to soy can even eat this because there if nothing in it that she can't have.
