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

When life gets chaotic, this effortless tomato and mozzarella casserole is my go-to comfort food. Growing up in the Midwest, casseroles were always a staple at family gatherings, and this dish carries that tradition with a modern, fuss-free twist. Perfect for busy weeknights when you need something quick, satisfying, and packed with flavor.

Because honestly—who can resist the classic pairing of tomatoes and melted mozzarella?

This dish pairs beautifully with a crisp green salad drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette for a fresh contrast. Crusty garlic bread is another great side to soak up those juicy flavors, and if you’re in the mood for something heartier, try serving it alongside roasted vegetables or a light pasta dish.
