Time 1h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

cooking spray
1 medium eggplant, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
1 pinch salt, or more as needed
1 cup cornmeal
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 pound ground beef
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium sweet onion, sliced
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray an 8-inch square glass pan with cooking spray.
  • Place eggplant slices on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Top slices with additional paper towels; allow salt to draw off some of the moisture, 30 to 45 minutes. Press down on paper towels to get as much moisture out as you can.
  • Combine cornmeal, flour, paprika, cinnamon, and ginger in a bowl. Dredge eggplant slices in mixture.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Place floured eggplant slices in pan and cook until edges start to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip; cook until crisp on edges but still soft in centers, 3 to 4 minutes more. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic, onion, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until onions are softened and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Layer eggplant slices to cover bottom of the prepared pan; follow with ground beef, 1/2 can diced tomatoes, 1/2 the Cheddar cheese and 1/2 the Monterey Jack cheese. Repeat layers, starting with eggplant slices. Dredge any remaining eggplant slices in Parmesan cheese and place on top of casserole.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbling and top is golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.

BEEF AND EGGPLANT CASSEROLE RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Beef and Eggplant Casserole Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by BobN

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tbsp olive oil, divided
2 eggplants, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 lb extra lean ground beef
3/4 cup marinara sauce
salt and pepper to taste
About half a bunch of fresh basil, leaves chopped
1 cup grated parmesan
1 cup grated light mozzarella

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp olive oil and cook eggplant slices for about 5 minutes on each side and set aside. Cook them in batches and add some olive oil when necessary. While eggplants are cooking, prepare the beef mixture. Heat another skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp olive oil. Cook garlic for about 1 minute (do not let it brown), then add ground beef and break it into pieces with a wooden spatula. Cook for about 5 minutes and add marinara sauce. Stir well and cook another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and add basil. Drain excess liquid to make sure you don't end up with a soggy casserole. In a baking dish (I used a square baking dish), arrange one layer of eggplant, one layer of beef mixture and one layer of parmesan cheese. Repeat (eggplant, then beef, then parmesan) and finish with a layer of eggplant. Top with mozzarella cheese and bake for 25 minutes or until cheese is golden brown and starts to be crispy. Serve immediately.
