Grub Americana

Beefsteak

Southern Farmhouse Tomato Pie

This recipe was adapted from one credited to James Beard, chef and culinary icon in the world of American cuisine. This version utilizes biscuit dough to absorb the juices, and is baked in a casserole dish for a more rustic, homey, cobbler-like feel.
