6 sm. zucchini
6 sm. tomatoes
1 med. size onion
Fresh basil
1 c. soda cracker crumbs
Brown sugar
1/2 lb. cooked bacon, crumbled
Salt and pepper (optional)
1 1/4 c. grated sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 stick butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wash and thinly slice vegetables separately. In a deep, oiled 2 quart casserole, place a layer of zucchini, tomatoes, and onion rings. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, brown sugar, basil, and crumbled bacon. Next add a few cracker crumbs, thin slices of butter and cheese. Save enough cracker crumbs and cheese for top layer. Bake covered for approximately 1 hour. Remove; cover and continue to bake for 30 minutes. Adjust baking time based on how tender you like your vegetables. Cool 15 minutes.

Tips: 1. Best served warm. 2. Substitute half Parmesan and Cheddar cheese. 3. Doesn't freeze well. Adapted from an Amish recipe. You may like to try other vegetables or add ham or fresh herbs.
