I think this recipe is a bit misleading. You hardly notice the eggplant at all. It's more like a stuffing with vegetables. I added a little extra eggplant, but it was still masked by the stuffing. I always use recipe #278160 for the cream soups, so I used the mushroom version. This would be great to disguise eggplant for those who don't care for it. Thanx for sharing.

This was AWESOME. Even the leftovers were good. I only used a 2 oz. jar of pimientos and that was plenty. I also waited to put the cheese on until 30 minutes into the baking time. Next time I might try mixing 1/2 of the cheese into the casserole and putting the other 1/2 on top.

This was really good and I will certainly make it again. Next time, I will take some of the suggestions posted here such as adding mushrooms. The stuffing was a bit overpowering at first, but when I had it as left overs, it wasn't bad at all. I may also add some protein next time, such as turkey to make it more of a meal.

I just made this recipe because of my husband's buying 2 eggplants that I had no idea what to do with.I used sweet red pepper rather than the green.I didn't have pimentos. I mixed the cheese in with the casserole and it came out fantastic! I doubled the recipe and sent some home with the tutor, gave some to our neighbors and by lunchtime, it's almost gone. I did add more eggplant than called for and peeled it first (very important). I will make this again.
