When unpacking my groceries, I discovered that my plum tomatoes had been "roughed up" quite a bit in transit. They needed to be used quickly and in a way that would disguise their condition. On the advice of other reviewers, I toasted my bread cubes in the oven prior to mixing them in with the tomatoes, onions, and seasonings. Also, I had fresh basil on hand, so I tossed some in, along with the dried basil that is called for. I love the flavor, but I find the mushy bread cubes give this dish an unpleasant texture. My mother used to make a similar dish that called for garlic croutons and was cooked in the microwave. I will try this again, but topped with bread cubes or croutons, not mixed in.

Delicious!! This recipe is perfect for using up tomatoes that are not so red & ripe. Even better the next day reheated in the oven! I made sourdough bread in my bread machine just to make this recipe. This is now a monthly meal my son asks for.

These are scrumptious! The only change I made was to add a small chopped up green pepper because I had a lot from the garden. I think maybe if I made it again I might decrease the sugar by just a tad and maybe even use a couple more tomatoes. But just wonderful the way it is. Thank you!

This was a mess; the brown sugar made the tomatoes bitter. This won't be a repeat in my house.

I am not a fan of tomatoes, but I've been looking for ways to eat them that I can actually enjoy. This recipe did the trick! I made mine with a nutty multi-grain bread, which added great texture. It's super easy, good for you, and I made it for less that 50 cents! Great with a sprinkle of parm and a side of toast.

I have to admit, I was skeptical about this recipe. Brown sugar...really? But it had so many good reviews, and we had so many tomatoes, we decided to give it a shot. I used toasted wheat bread and added Parmesan. It was delicious!!!

Very very tasty. Used homegrown tomatoes and seasoned croutons, added a little garlic, and topped with parmesan shavings during the last 10 minutes. Will be sure to make again soon.

Terrific recipe! I had so many tomatoes ripe in the garden that I didn't know what to do with. I used a mixture of red cherry, golden dwarf, yellow plumb and snow white tomatoes for a nice color variation. I'm glad I came across this recipe. I read all of the reviews and decided to mix in 1/4 cup shredded parmesian as well as sprinkle a bit on top. I used fresh basil, about 1/4 cup. The bread I had on hand was a sourdough wheat. It added a subtle flavor of it's own. Turned out great! Will make again soon.
