You won’t find any tuna in Isha’s Tomato Casserole, just layers of vegetables! Unlike most casseroles that are a bit heavy, Isha’s recipe is on the lighter side. Still including a very important casserole ingredient (the cheese!), Isha’s recipe has a few layers, like a vegetarian lasagna. But nope, you won’t find any noodles or tomato sauce in this recipe, just plenty of tomatoes!

So what makes Isha’s recipe a casserole? Isha doesn’t use any soups or broth to give her dish the creamy consistency most casseroles are known for. Instead, she prepares a sauce. Composed primarily of milk with some butter, the sauce thickens once flour and bread crumbs are added in the final stages of the cooking process. After this, she briefly cooks the tomatoes and capsicum, also known as bell pepper. Then, the layering begins!

The cooked tomatoes and bell peppers serve as the base. Then corn and black olives are layered on top of the tomatoes. Oh…and let’s not forget about the finishing touches. The sprinkling of the cheese finishes off this oven-baked casserole :)! Find more tasty home cookin’ at Isha’s Kitchen!
