Recipe by Bethany T. I couldn't decide if I wanted lasagna or moussaka the other night; this 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 the beef for another varia

Ingredients

  • 9 lasagna noodles
  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans Italian-flavored crushed tomatoes
  • 1 eggplant, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 cups mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Grease the bottom and sides of 9x13 inch baking dish.
  3. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the lasagna noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes; drain and set aside.
  4. Cook and stir ground beef, onion, mushrooms, and garlic in a skillet over medium heat until the beef is completely browned, about 10 minutes.
  5. Stir canned tomatoes into ground beef; simmer until sauce has formed, 3 to 4 minutes.
  6. Pour about one-fourth of the sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  7. Layer noodles on top of sauce.
  8. Spread a thin layer of sauce on top of noodles.
  9. Place a layer of eggplant slices on top of noodle and sauce layer.
  10. Sprinkle about one-fourth of the cheese on top of eggplant slices.
  11. Repeat layering with remaining ingredients, until ending with a layer of sauce topped with remaining cheese.
  12. Bake in preheated oven until cheese is bubbly and brown on top, about 40 minutes.
