Savor the harmonious layers of tender roast eggplant, savory seasoned ground beef, and a rich tomato sauce, artfully layered and finished with a sprinkle of melted mozzarella cheese. This wholesome casserole delivers a balanced blend of protein and flavors, perfect for a satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef
1/2 medium Eggplant
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Brush lightly with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 10 minutes until slightly tender.
While the eggplant is roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook until it browns, breaking it up as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir in the tomato sauce into the cooked ground beef and let it simmer for 5 minutes, adjusting seasoning as needed.
In a casserole dish, lay down a layer of roasted eggplant slices, followed by a layer of the ground beef and tomato sauce mixture.
Repeat the layers, finishing with a top layer of eggplant. Sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the oven for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
