I tried it and this was great. I halfed the receipe since it's just me and my husband. I added garlic to the saute' of onion. The color wasn't super appealing but I tasted it and it was good. However, forgive the carnivour in me, but I just felt it was missing something - MEAT! so I added some ground beef that I made a couple days ago (it was a ground beef mixture of meat, tom. sauce, rotel tomatoes and seasonings) - I baked mine for about 25 mins and served over rice with a side of cucumbers and tomatoes with feta cheese on top. Excellent meal! Will definitely make again. Thanks for posting!!

This was pretty good. I was looking for something to do with eggplant besides adding spaghetti sauce. I cut this in half (there's only 2 of us). I added some fresh garlic and had some leftover turkey bacon so I added that too. The husband went for seconds so it must have passed the test. We'll be having this again. Thanks
