Here is a grain-free recipe for a classic. You'd never miss the noodles in this easy recipe:) I topped mine with some mozzarella cheese!
1 1/2 lbs. ground hamburger
1 med. onion, diced
1/2 green pepper, diced
Salt & pepper
1 can of Hunt's No-Sugar Marinara sauce
3 c. eggplant, cut into cubes
1 clove of garlic, minced (optional)
1 tbsp. parsley
Peel and cube the eggplant into 1/2 inch squares. Place in a skillet with marinara and garlic. Simmer for 10 minutes or until the eggplant is soft.
Brown the hamburger, onion and green pepper in skillet. Drain off any excess fat. Add remaining ingredients. Cook over medium-low heat, covered, for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
