Recipe - Eggplant Casserole With Meat

2 lg Eggplants, peeled
2 pound Ground beef, extra lean
12 ounce Spaghetti, cooked and
drained
6 cup Tomato sauce, seasoned
Salt
Pepper
Garlic powder

1. Slice eggplant into 1/4" rounds. If desired, salt the slices and let sit
for One half 1 hour. Rinse and dry. (I do this from habit, but you can
eliminate this step.)

2. Place slices on oiled or Pammed cookie sheets. Sprinkle with salt (omit
if you salted previously), pepper, and garlic powder. Brush lightly with
oil or spray with Pam. Bake in a hot oven (about 400F) till soft (1520
minutes).

3. Meanwhile, brown the meat without additional fat in a large skillet.
Drain any fat that is released.

4. In a large cassrole dish, put a thin layer of the sauce. Put 1/3 of the
eggplant slices over this. Put the spaghetti over the eggplant. Pour some
of the sauce over this. Put another third of the eggplant in. Cover with
the meat. Pour more sauce over. Add the rest of the eggplant and finish off
with a thin layer of sauce.

5. Bake about 4045 minutes at 350F.

Difficulty : easy. Precision
: approximate measurements.

NOTES : Homemade tomato sauce is best, but you can doctor up canned or
packaged by adding spices.
