Into the bottom of a baking dish put a layer of thinly sliced onion,
salt, pepper, a sprinkling of flour and a few dots of butter, then a
layer of the cooked meat sliced very thin, another layer of onion and
seasoning, and then one of meat, moistening it occasionally with a
tablespoon of soup stock or hot water in which a bouillon cube has
been dissolved. Repeat this until the dish is nearly full. Last put in
a layer of raw tomatoes (canned tomatoes may be made to serve the
purpose) and cover the top with bread crumbs, salt, pepper and bits of
butter. Bake in the oven for one-half hour.
