3. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
4. Arrange one-third of the sliced green tomatoes (approximately 2 cups) in the bottom of the prepared pan.
5. Sprinkle one-third of the sugar mixture, one-third of the bread crumbs (approximately 1/3 cup), and 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the tomatoes.
6. Repeat layers with another one-third of the tomatoes, sugar mixture, and bread crumbs.
7. For the final layer, add the remaining tomatoes, sugar mixture, and bread crumbs.
8. Dot the top with 2 tablespoons of butter.
9. Cover the casserole with foil.
10. Bake for 60 minutes.
11. Remove foil, sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup of cheddar cheese on top.
12. Bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
13. Remove from oven and let stand for 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
