Sweet Tomato Casserole image

This is a southern dish that I serve with breakfast or brunch. Cut the bread and onion the night before to save some time in the morning. This recipe makes enough to serve a large group, but is easy to scale down. The can of tomatoes wouldn't come up on the recipe, but I use a #10 can, 6lbs, 6oz, the largest one there is.

Time 1h20m

Yield 20-30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 large onion, chopped
8 cups stale bread, 1/2 inch cubes (Italian, Cuban or Hoagie rolls work best)
1 lb butter
1 lb brown sugar
1 (102 ounce) can whole canned tomatoes, drained (#10 can, 6lb, 6oz)

Steps:

  • Crush the tomatoes into bite sized pieces. ( I leave them in the stainer and squeeze by hand until they are broken up to small enough pieces.).
  • Melt the butter in a large sauce pan, then add the onions, cook until softened.
  • Stir in the remaining ingredients and transfer to a large baking dish. (I use a half hotel pan.).
  • Cover with aluminium foil and bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Let cool for about 1 0minutes before serving.
