SOUTHERN STEWED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Spray an oven proof casserole with cooking spray and set aside.
• Put the tomatoes with their juices into the casserole and cut up into chunks.
• Add the sugar and stir.
• Cut the butter into chunks and add to tomato mixture.
• Stir in the stale bread cubes-enough to make a thick mixture.
• Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the mixture is very thick.
• Cover with foil if it appears to be browning too quickly towards the end.
