This is a really tasty veggie casserole. Loved the addition of the croutons. I had some zucchini that needed to be used up along with some home grown tomatoes. I changed the recipe just a tiny bit -- I used petite diced tomatoes (drained) for layering in the casserole and then used my home grown tomatoes (sliced) on the top. I left off the cheese at DH's request. Sooo delicious! Made for the Culinary Quest - U. S. Southern Region, August, 2014.

Such a simple and colourful veggie dish, next time I would prefer to use larger zucchini as mine were little and didnt present so well, but taste wise, perfect. Really enjoyed this, thank you breezermom, this was made and enjoyed for International Agents of Quest, USA Southern Region Updated to add, made again, excellent :) made my own garlic croutons this time

This was a great way to use up some garden veggies. I used Stove Top stuffing for the croutons (chicken) and was in a hurry so cooked 20 minutes in the microwave, then melted the cheese. Made for CQ 14.

Love red and green veggies! Definitely delicious, dh and I ate half of it. I did not peel any of the tomatoes, cut onion into bite size pieces so it would be easy to spoon out. Used a tad more than 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Had in oven 65 minutes as onion was still crunchy at one hour mark before adding cheese. Thanks breezer for posting.
