Herb-Roasted Eggplant and Ground Beef Casserole
A hearty yet light casserole featuring savory, lean ground beef and tender herb-roasted eggplant layered with a rich tomato sauce. This dish balances robust Mediterranean flavors with a clean finish, making it a versatile option for any meal of the day.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Lean Ground Beef
1 cup diced Eggplant
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (No Salt Added)
1/4 cup diced Red Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
2 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Dice the eggplant and red onion, mince the garlic, and set aside the fresh basil after chopping.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the red onion and garlic until softened and fragrant.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up as it cooks. Cook until the beef is browned and nearly cooked through.
Stir in the diced eggplant and tomato sauce along with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the eggplant to begin softening.
Transfer the mixture to a small casserole dish. Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil on top.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the eggplant is tender and the casserole is bubbly.
Serve hot and enjoy your herb-roasted eggplant and ground beef casserole.
