Sweet Tomato Casserole - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 large onion, chopped
8 cups stale bread, 1/2 inch cubes (Italian, Cuban or Hoagie rolls work best)
1 lb butter
1 lb brown sugar
1 (102 ounce) can whole canned tomatoes, drained (#10 can, 6lb, 6oz)

Preparation

Crush the tomatoes into bite sized pieces. ( I leave them in the stainer and squeeze by hand until they are broken up to small enough pieces.).
Melt the butter in a large sauce pan, then add the onions, cook until softened.
Stir in the remaining ingredients and transfer to a large baking dish. (I use a half hotel pan.).
Cover with aluminium foil and bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Let cool for about 1 0minutes before serving.
