Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large eggplant, peeled and diced
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 (28 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons brown sugar, or more to taste
1 teaspoon salt
6 ounces grated sharp Cheddar cheese
⅓ cup fine bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  • Melt butter in a 3-quart saucepan on medium heat. Add flour and mix to create a paste. Add tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, brown sugar, and salt and cook over medium to medium-high heat. Stir occasionally until mixture bubbles and thickens, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour mixture over the eggplant in the baking dish.

  • Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, 30 to 40 minutes.

This casserole was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my casserole didn't turn out as cheesy as I expected. I think I might have used the wrong kind of cheese.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my casserole turned out watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.
