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).
  • Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add eggplant and cook until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and pour eggplant into an 8-inch square baking dish.
  • 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.
  • Cover the vegetables in the baking dish with Cheddar cheese and bread crumbs.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, 30 to 40 minutes.

The casserole was a bit dry. I think I'll add more milk or cream next time.

This casserole was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

The eggplant in this casserole was a bit too mushy for me. I think I'll try roasting it next time.

This casserole was a hit with my family! The eggplant added a nice smoky flavor and the cheese was gooey and melted perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
