• 1 cup cubed cheddar cheese
• 1 cup water
• 1 tsp. salt and pepper to taste
• 1 can(28oz/796mL) diced tomatoes
• 1 cup bread crumbs*
• 1 tbsp butter

Directions:

• Dump all the ingredients except the bread crumbs and butter into a well-greased dish. Yes, everything. Yes, just like that. Stir well.

• Cover the casserole with a lid (or foil wrap) and bake at 350 F for 1 h.

• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat.

• Add the bread crumbs and cook, stirring, for 8 to 10 min, until the crumbs are lightly toasted.

• Return to the oven under the broiler for 3 to 5 min until browned.

*The bread crumbs are not necessary but add a nice touch.
