    Hi Stef! That's like a deconstructed pizza! Looks very tasty I would eat that 😊👍 in fact I have a bag of seasoned homemade croutons in the fridge I want to use up. Good idea 💡

      Yes, Ellen. Just leave out the pepperoni, right? (:

    Hi Steph, this reminds me of a dish my mother made that we called "tomatoes and bread" . She baked her own bread and canned her own tomatoes. She would take thick buttered slices of day old bread and break them up or cut them in chunks. Place them in a buttered casserole dish, then open a jar canned tomatoes and pour over it, then salt and pepper to taste. Sometimes, she would add onion, green pepper, and garlic if we had it. She would also use store bought stewed tomatoes. I think she baked it about an hour at 350. Your version looks very good too. Thanks for sharing.

      Tracy, I want to thank you for your remarks. I also deal with physical limitations and need to cook meals that are easy, tasty and affordable. I'm very thankful that you enjoy watching the videos. I also have my favorites (Moss Family TV, Big Family Homestead, Big Family Love to name several). I enjoy watching them cook. Somehow I think it brings us together around a virtual table that we all want in our everyday lives. God bless you. (:

    I did comment below, but I have to share something I do t is so good and filling....I buy 5 pound bags of regular potatoes once a month ( so much cheaper than packets) and I bake them wrapped in foil. and freeze them till i am ready to use, Ii unwrap and cut into smaller squares, and top with my favorite topping,...this is such a time saver.. I also use for stews and creamed or just buttered,, hash browns(county style) straight out of the freezer this way and thaw l heat them up...I can have loaded bake potato.. I used butter, and sour cream and cheese, but you can top with anything you like, many choices, like mushrooms, peppers, broccoli, and bacon bits or pre cooked hamburger, chicken or even tuna. you can add a gravy on top if you would like. makes a one dish meal...when I shop once a month I prep everything in advance for my meals and freeze, so my burger is cooked, my peppers and onions and mushrooms are done also, among other items and put into one meal freezer containers, ready when I am....♥ Enjoy and may you always be blessed♥
