How to Make Chef Boy I Be Illinois Baked Cod Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 pound cod fillets (cut into 1-inch pieces), 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1/2 cup dry white wine, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Simmer until fish flakes easily, about 10-12 minutes. Gently flake the cod with a fork.
  4. Meanwhile, peel and thinly slice 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes and 1/2 medium yellow onion.
  5. Grease a 10-inch square baking dish. Layer half of the potatoes and onions in the bottom, lightly sprinkling with salt and pepper.
  6. Spread the flaked cod evenly over the potatoes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  7. Pour half of the tomato sauce over the cod.
  8. Top with the remaining potatoes and onions, sprinkling lightly with salt and pepper. Pour the remaining sauce over the top.
  9. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  10. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup breadcrumbs and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle over the casserole.
  11. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes more, or until the topping is golden brown. For extra browning, broil for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully.
  12. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
