Description

Tomatoes are baked with torn bread to make a savory tomato pudding. So simple, we love it with meatloaf and baked potatoes. I serve it at dinner parties, and I am always asked for the recipe. Add it to any oven cooked meal.

Ingredients

2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans peeled and diced tomatoes with juice
3 slices white bread, torn into pieces
2 tablespoons butter
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Pour the tomatoes into a 1 1/2 quart baking dish. Place the torn pieces of bread in a layer over the tomatoes, and dot with pieces of butter. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
3 Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
