INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Beef
1 cup Eggplant slices
1 cup Cauliflower florets
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup diced Onion
2 cloves Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch rounds. Lightly season with salt and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture, then pat dry.
In a skillet over medium heat with olive oil, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until softened.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet, cooking until browned. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
Meanwhile, steam or boil the cauliflower until tender, then blend it with a portion of the tomato sauce until smooth to create a creamy sauce.
In a lightly greased baking dish, layer the eggplant slices, then spread the beef mixture evenly over the eggplant.
Pour the creamy cauliflower sauce over the beef layer and drizzle the remaining tomato sauce on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and the eggplant is tender.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your well-balanced, flavorful casserole!
