Tomato Pudding
"So simple, we love it with meatloaf and baked potatoes. I serve it at dinner parties and am always asked for the recipe. People are surprised at how few ingredients are involved. Great to add to any oven cooked meals. This recipe was my mother-in-law's answer to "last" minute meal planning."

We really liked this. I used 2 pieces of stale bread and a cup of crushed saltine crackers. I put about 1/4 cup of grated parmasean on the top before I put it in the oven. A nice side dish with a lot of flavor. I recommend this especially if you're a tomato lover like we are. -
Thanks for posting this recipe. It reminded me of my Grandmother. I guess it was the simplicity of the taste. I am a great tomato eater, raw, cooked, however, and this was wonderful. I will print this out and add it to my tried and true recipes. -
What a nice simple and different side dish. Mine was a bit too "loose" so next time I'll add a bit more bread. Glad this was posted.

When I was young my friend's mom made this and I always remembered it as a favorite of mine. When I saw the recipe I had to try it...a little altered. I put tiny mozzerella balls and dried basil mixed in plus parmesean on top with a few panko crumbs. It was superb!!!! -
