INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Beef
1/2 medium Eggplant
1 cup Cauliflower
1 Large Egg
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lightly brush with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the lean ground beef with garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until browned. Transfer the beef to a bowl.
Steam the cauliflower until tender (about 6-8 minutes). Transfer to a blender along with the whole egg and blend until smooth to create a creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
In a casserole dish, layer the bottom with eggplant slices, then spread the cooked beef evenly. Pour half of the cauliflower sauce over the beef. Add another layer of eggplant slices and finish with the remaining sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the casserole is heated through and the flavors meld together.
Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
