This is a recipe that I have made for years and never divulged the source lol. I try to make this with well drained browned ground lamb, almost an impossibility to find where I lived in Florida. It works ok with ground turkey, too. Ingredients:
2 lbs ground beef |
1 medium eggplant, peeled and diced, about 4 cups |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided |
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper |
1 1/2 cups spaghetti sauce |
1 cup milk |
2 eggs |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large skillet, sauté ground beef over medium high heat for 7-8 minutes or until crumbly and only slightly pink.
3. Drain off any excess liquid.
4. Add eggplant to same skillet and sauté for 5-6 minutes or until eggplant starts to soften.
5. Add garlic, cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of salt, and pepper.
6. Mix well.
7. Add spaghetti sauce and cook for 4-5 minutes or until hot.
8. Grease a 7 x 11 inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
9. Place meat/eggplant mixture into baking dish, smooth the top.
10. In a small bowl combine the eggs, milk, salt and mix until smooth.
11. Pour over the meat mixture.
12. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until custard is set.
