CREAMED TOMATOES AKA TOMATO GRAVY

Steps:

• Pour tomatoes in a saucepan or skillet.
• Add butter.
• Simmer over medium heat about 15 minutes, or until tomatoes are tender. (If using juice, then just bring it up to a simmer, and continue.).
• After tomatoes are tender, mix your flour and milk in a bowl until smooth, and add to tomatoes, stirring well.
• Add salt, pepper, and sugar to taste.
• If it's too thick, add a little more milk. If it's too thin, either simmer on low until it's the desired thickness, or mix up a bit more flour and milk and add to your tomatoes.
• That's it! Serve over homemade biscuits, cornbread, potatoes, or whatever you like!

BAKED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Slice the tomatoes from core to core. Remove and discard the seeds and juice, and add the tomatoes to a casserole dish. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Combine the 2 tablespoons olive oil, panko, Parmesan, parsley, garlic, shallots, red pepper flakes and some salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Fill the tomatoes with the panko mixture. Bake 20 minutes. Drizzle with a splash of olive oil before serving.

MAMAW'S CHICKEN AND RICE CASSEROLE

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease sides and bottom of a casserole dish.
• Stir chicken, water, rice, cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, and cream of mushroom soup together in the prepared casserole dish; season with salt and pepper. Arrange butter evenly over the top of the chicken mixture.
• Bake in preheated oven until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through, 1 hour to 75 minutes. Cool 15 minutes before serving.

CREAMED TOMATOES ON TOAST

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring the cream, thyme and cinnamon stick to a simmer over medium-low heat.
• As cream comes to a simmer, drain the tomatoes (no need to rinse), discarding the juices. Add the whole tomatoes to the saucepan and bring to a simmer, breaking up the tomatoes with a wooden spoon. Cook until the tomatoes are soft and the cream is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• To eat, place a slice of toast in a shallow bowl or rimmed plate, and spoon the tomatoes and plenty of cream over the toast. Season with more black pepper, if you like.

CREAMED TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat one tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan and add the shallots. Cook briefly, stirring, and add the vinegar and wine and cook until the liquid is almost reduced.
• Add the tomatoes and cook over relatively high heat, stirring, about three minutes.
• Add the cream and bring to the boil. Pour the mixture into the container of a food processor or electric blender and blend thoroughly.
• Line a saucepan with a sieve and pour the sauce into it. Strain the sauce, pressing with the back of a wooden spoon to push most of the solids through. Add salt and pepper.
• Bring the sauce to the boil and swirl in the remaining two tablespoons of butter.
