Dayton Steakhouse-Style Stewed Tomatoes

Submitted by DailyInspiration

"I love tomatoes and this dish sounds absolutely wonderful to me. It is taken from the Junior League of Dayton cookbook, "Causing A Stir". The recipe states that it is inspired by Dayton's favorite steakhouses and that it is terrific served with Filet Mignon, baked potatoes and a salad. I have a couple of T-bones in the freezer that are calling out for this recipe!"

Yep this is a true Steakhouse side and that is truly a Good thing! I made as written using home made whole wheat croutons and crushed can tomatoes, will be making this again and think I would like to try using fire roasted tomatoes. Thanks so much for the great side.

My Mother made a dish like this. Used canned stewed tomatoes, onions, bacon and bread, though not dry crouton-like. Never could match her dish and there was no recipe, so I imagine she just added herbs and spices as suited her mood and expected me to do the same.
