Instructions
Slice eggplant and season with salt, set aside while you cut up tomato and green pepper in a small dice and chop garlic.
Brush eggplant slices with olive oil on each sides and put on a tin-foiled baking sheet that has been coated with cooking spray of your choice. Put in the oven that has been heated to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 20 minutes. Eggplant should be lightly browned and soft.
Meanwhile, sauté chopped garlic in olive oil, added green peppers and tomatoes, and added ground beef and salt. Cook until meat is no longer pink. Add tomato sauce and allow to simmer for a few minutes more. The mixture will resemble sloppy joe.
Place eggplant rounds on each dish and top with ground beef mixture. Serve with rice. Add a salad and bump your veggie count even higher.
