I served this with a spaghetti dinner I made last night, as an alternative to the usual garlic bread. I followed the recipe exactly as written, seeding the tomatoes to keep the seeds out of the bread. The frozen bread had a lot of garlic and butter on it which overpowered the taste of the tomatoes and cheeses, so the only change I would make is to buy a bakery loaf of plain Italian bread and spread it with a thin layer of softened butter mixed with just a pinch of garlic powder, so that the rest of the flavors in this bread casserole will come through evenly. With that little tweaking, this bread casserole will be perfect for our tastes. Thanks for posting!Reply
