Ingredients
- 1 large eggplant sliced into 12 sheets
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp salt divided
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 28 oz can chopped tomatoes
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2/3 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 cups mozzarella shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Cut the eggplant into 12 thin slices with a mandolin. Place the slices on a thin, clean kitchen towel. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt. Let sit for 10 minutes. Turn the slices over, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt. Let sit for another 10 minutes. Blot the salt and water from the slices.
- Meanwhile, brown the ground beef in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the remaining salt, onion powder, oregano, and basil.
- When the meat is fully browned, add the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste and garlic. Stir well. Cover and simmer for at least 30 minutes.
- Add a spoonful of sauce to the bottom of a 9"x13" casserole dish. Add three slices of the eggplant. Top with 1/4 of the sauce, 1/3 of the ricotta cheese, 1/4 of the mozzarella, and 1/3 of the Parmesan cheese. Add two more layers of ingredients. Top with only last layer of eggplant, a thin layer of sauce, and the remaining cheese.
- Cover the dish with tin foil. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove the tin toil and baked for an additional 10 minutes. Remove and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can replace the eggplant with zucchini
- Don't skip the salting step or the final product will be very watery
- You can replace the homemade sauce with jarred sauce, but be sure to check the nutrition label to avoid unwanted carbs.
