Take a look at this amazing recipe that comes to us from an Amish woman in Wisconsin, a hearty, six-layer plate-piler. This type of meal is a staple in Amish kitchens because it is easy to throw together and it replenishes a lot of calories after a hard day in the fields or the workshop.
Reader Barbara tested it out for us and here is what she had to say:
Mr says this casserole was surprisingly tasty! He had 2 helpings. This was an easy recipe to put together and was done in the 2 hours. I did put a piece of foil over the dish during the 2nd hour of cooking because the tomatoes appeared to be drying out a bit and I did not want that to happen. Would be a good recipe to put together in the morning to have ready for baking later in the day.
Assembling the ingredients…
Ready for the oven…..cover with foil for the final hour o keep the tomatoes from drying out
And pile it onto your plate!
And now here is the recipe for this winner of a meal!
