Tomato Au Gratin Casserole

TRUE DELIGHT for all of the tomato lovers!!! This casserole has all of the flavors which blend perfect together. This is a great side dish for serving guests. My family has enjoyed this casserole for quite some time. Best when tomatoes are homegrown or from a farmer's market.
