Baked Ziti

This delicious recipe is from my sister-in-law Beth Merrill.

This is a really tasty vegetarian dish. If you like or love peppers, you should like the dish.

1 pound ziti, cooked al dente, rinsed and cooled (use penne if you can't find ziti)

3 cups sliced red, orange, yellow, or green pepper

1 bag (8 oz) shredded cheddar cheese

1 bag (8 oz) shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1 can (28 oz) whole tomatoes, squished

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

1 cup half and half (It can be fat free or you can use evaporated milk.)

1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs

Heat oven to 350. Spray a 9x13 baking dish. Combine pasta, peppers, cheeses, tomatoes, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pour into prepared dish. Evenly pour half and half over the mixture. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover, top with bread crumbs and bake another 30 minutes or until slightly bubbly and crispy.
