Eggplant Meat Lasagna

Recipe #253304 | 1½ hours | 20 min prep | add private note

I had been planning on making a meat pie with ground meat and puff pastry dough for a dinner party, but 2 hours before the party, I realized that instead of buying pastry sheets, I had bought pastry shells, which would never work. So after the compulsory freak out, I created this dish and was glad I did, because we finished every drop!

I loved the eggplant in this dish! The sauce seemed a bit out of place with the ground beef, it might just be my marinara, so I think I'd use something more Mexican style next time although I'd be careful with the salt because mine was a bit salty.

    Horrible! Sorry, I am not a great cook, and always follow the recipes, and this was the first time when I ruined the dinner and had to throw everything away The lasagna shells were so hard that we couldn't cut through, the bottom ones. Middle tasted good, but no thank you - I have made regular lasagna before, and it was not even close to what happened to this one. And we LOVE eggplant, what a waste...
