Ketchup-Scrap Casserole

I couldn't let three cups of perfectly good tomatoes and onions go to waste. So after some thought, I came up with a casserole.

Courtney's Ketchup-Scrap Casserole
Serves 4

Tomato and onion scraps from making (New Old-Time Ketchup)
1 T Vietnamese chili-garlic sauce
1/4 t salt (yes, you really need this much)
1 t ground black pepper (ditto)
1/8 t cinnamon
2 - 4 T fresh ketchup if you have any left over after canning
3 eggs
1/2 c buttermilk or milk or cream
2 oz cheese (I used smoked swiss)
Lard to grease pan

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease an 8" square casserole. Mix together scraps, sauce, and spices. Put in greased pan. Beat eggs and milk product together and pour over scraps. Stir around a bit so that it will all hold together. Shred cheese over top. Bake 40 min. Serve hot.

Here's what it looks like coming out of the oven. It is *really* fluffy and nice. You could make this for company and nobody would know it came from scraps. It does need the spices and cheese, though. The fun part is you don't get to make it again until you make more ketchup!
