Irresistible Eggplant Beef Lasagna – A Mouthwatering Recipe

I couldn’t decide if I wanted lasagna or moussaka the other night; this eggplant lasagna with meat came out as a yummy combo of the two! Spinach lasagna noodles work well in this if you can get them. Also, try ground lamb in place of beef for another variation.

  6. Pour about 1/4 of the sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer noodles on top of sauce. Spread a thin layer of sauce on top of noodles.

  7. Place a layer of eggplant slices on top of noodle and sauce layer. Sprinkle about 1/4 of the cheese on top of eggplant slices.

  8. Repeat layering with remaining ingredients, until ending with a layer of sauce topped with remaining cheese.

  9. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbly and brown on top, about 40 minutes.
