Green Tomato Casserole


Green tomatoes will soon be in stores everywhere. Here is a recipe I found a few years ago. I have also made it with very firm red tomatoes.  If you cook it, please let me know how it comes out.

4-5 medium green tomatoes, sliced (1/4 inch thick)
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 cups soft breadcrumbs (Six slices white bread or 8 inches of  French bread in food processor)
11/2 -2 cups sharp cheddar cheese (depending on your taste; I use 2 cups because we love cheese) Reserve 1/2 cup to top at end of baking. Note:  This is also good with Provolone and Mozzarella shreds, blended together
1 Vidalia onion, thinly cut in rings
3 T butter, cut each tablespoon of butter into fourths. 
butter for dish

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix sugar, salt and pepper in a small dish or shaker. Butter 9 x 13 glass casserole dish. In a glass casserole dish, place a layer of green tomatoes. Sprinkle seasoning mix on top of tomatoes. Add a layer of onion rings.  Sprinkle 1/3 of breadcrumbs on top. Layer with 1/3 of the cheese. Continue layering process ending with breadcrumbs. Dot with butter. Cover and bake for 60 -75 minutes until tomatoes are softened.. Uncover and add remaining cheese and bake until cheese is melted and golden brown.

Note:  A friend of mine added crumbled fried bacon to this and said it was divine.  She friend 6 slices of bacon and drained and crumbled them.  She put a layer of tomatoes, then onions, then bacon, and breadcrumbs and repeated.

  1. I made this for dinner on Friday, June 11th. I add one thinly sliced vidalia onion. I layered the onions on top of the seasoned tomatoes. It was amazing. Please try it.
