Put fresh sliced tomatoes in casserole. 2 ingredients later: A quick Italian bake

This 3-ingredient tomato and mozzarella casserole is my go-to when life gets hectic, but I still want something comforting and delicious. Growing up in the Midwest, casseroles were a staple at every family gathering, and this one brings back those warm memories with a modern twist. It’s perfect for busy weeknights when you need to whip up something quick yet satisfying. Plus, who doesn’t love the classic combination of tomatoes and mozzarella?

This casserole pairs beautifully with a simple green salad drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette, adding a fresh contrast to the rich, cheesy goodness. You could also serve it alongside some crusty garlic bread to soak up all the delicious juices. For a heartier meal, consider adding a side of roasted vegetables or a light pasta dish.

Servings: 4

4 large tomatoes, sliced
