I found this recipe from a great book called, "Cooking Healthy Across America," and oh man, it was so good! I added a couple of ingredients to make it a little more heartier, and I will definitely make it again! The book takes the reader all over the country and exposes them to different kinds of tasty and healthy dishes. I highly recommend this cookbook! Unfortunately, there was no picture of this dish, but I can assure you it is well worth it!!
Ingredients
vegetable oil cooking spray
3 strips bacon, diced
(I put in about 3 chicken breasts as well to make it more filling, but you don't have to)
3 slices whole-grain bread, cut into cubes
1 medium-size green bell pepper, chopped
(I also added one medium-size red bell pepper, chopped)
1 medium-size onion, chopped
6 medium-size tomatoes, chopped
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried sage (I didn't have this, and it still turned out great!)
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (4 ounces)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish with the cooking spray.
Combine the bacon, bread, (chicken), green pepper, (red pepper), and onion in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Cook and stir until the bacon is crisp and the bread is brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. (If you added chicken, you might want to cook it for a little be longer).
Meanwhile, combine the tomatoes, sugar, flour, salt, pepper, and sage in the casserole dishes; stir. Add the sauteed mixture; stir. Top with the cheese. Bake, uncovered, 20 minutes.
