Tips & Substitutions
For a thicker sauce, consider adding a tablespoon of tomato paste. If you don't have onion salt, use regular salt and add a bit of finely chopped onion or onion powder. Feel free to substitute the green pepper with other vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini. This dish can also benefit from a splash of Worcestershire sauce for added depth. Always use a heavy skillet for better heat distribution.
