    Eggplant and Ground Beef Casserole

    1 to 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
    1 medium onion, chopped
    Salt and pepper to taste
    Chopped celery, optional
    2 medium eggplants, peeled and diced
    Chicken bouillon
    1 egg, slightly beaten
    Bread crumbs or crushed French fried onions

    Preheat oven to 350 º.

    Cook the ground beef with the onion and celery, season with salt and pepper.

    Meanwhile, simmer the eggplant in a sauce pan in a small amount of water. Add some chicken bouillon to the water for added flavor. Drain the eggplant.

    Combine the ground beef and eggplant, then add the egg and mix well. Place in a buttered casserole dish or pie plate, sprinkle with bread crumbs.

    Bake in 350º for 30 minutes.

    We love this one at food.com

    It's meatless, but many people brown some ground beef and add it to the recipe. It freezes nicely. Take it out the night before and the next night come home and pop into the oven.

    It tastes like pizza!!!

    I would make soft taco's as they are so quck and easy. I don't buy the packages of taco seasoning as there is a ton of sodium, instead after you brown the ground beef add a tsp of garlic pwdr, chili pwdr, paprika, cumin, and a pinch of salt and lots of ground pepper. Add in about 3/4 c. water and simmer until it has evaporated. Then you just have to chop some veggies and add some salsa . . . and ta da . . . dinner in about 15 minutes.
    This is my families favorite and there are NEVER any leftovers on this night. We actually sub in ground turkey instead of beef as well.

    We had tacos last night. I use 93% lean ground beef and throw a can of low sodium black beans in. Adds some good nutritional value and it's yummy.
