Scalloped Hanover Tomatoes with Basil

Peel tomatoes and cut into ½-inch cubes; drain. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bread in olive oil 5-7 minutes or until light brown color.

Add tomatoes, brown sugar and garlic; cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Stir in salt, pepper and basil.

Pour into a 1½-quart baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake uncovered at 350° 35-40 minutes, or until bubbly. -- Mary Elmore, 2007 fourth-place finisher, Best Original Tomato Recipe; "A Second Helping of Hanover"
