Ingredients
-
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
Directions
-
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.

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