Sweet Tomato Casserole
"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."
