Green Tomato Casserole

It's that time of year again - it's the end of tomato season and I still have a ton of green tomatoes on the vine.  Here's one more way to use them up.

The recipe calls for soft breadcrumbs (as opposed to dry breadcrumbs).  These can be made easily by putting some bread slices in a food processor or chopper.  It's a great way to use up the end pieces.

Green Tomato Casserole

Ingredients

4 medium green tomatoes, sliced thin
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
2 cups soft breadcrumbs
1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon butter, softened

Directions

Arrange one layer of tomatoes in the bottom of 1 ½ quart casserole.
Sprinkle with sugar, salt and pepper 1/3 of bread crumbs and 1/3 cheese.
Repeat layers twice omitting the cheese from the top.
Dot butter over the bread crumbs on top.
Cover and bake at 400 degrees for one hour.
Add remaining cheese, bake uncovered until cheese melts.
