Swiss Bliss.

Yet another from my new local cookbook from French Camp, MS. Made it tonight, and it is yummy. I was out of regular stewed tomatoes, and substituted in a couple cans of rotel, and it worked just fine. This is perfect over mashed potatoes, as the gravy is excellent. I made garlic parmesan mashed potatoes, purple hull peas, and fresh fried okra as sides. It was a feast! Served over rice, it's more of a classic pepper steak. (It's also excellent over grits, which my wife discovered on our second batch. She says it's every bit as good as the grits & grillades that she loves at the Court of Two Sisters in New Orleans!)
