EGGPLANT STUFFED BELL PEPPER
I used my recipe for Donna's Eggplant Casserole as the filling which is a deconstructed eggplant parm, then topped it with six-cheese Italian blend then baked it until the cheese melted. I like my bell pepper to be hot but still crisp. You can cook your peppers to any texture you desire.

Steps:
- 1. Liberally salt diced eggplant and set aside to drain for 30 minutes. Rinse well & drain.
- 2. If using ground beef, season with salt, pepper, granulated garlic and onion and fry off the ground beef and/or breakfast sausage in a skillet until no longer pink.
- 3. Remove meat to drain in paper towel lined colander and discard grease. Wipe out skillet with paper towels and use to toast bread crumbs.
- 4. Slice top off of peppers and remove seeds and ribs from inside. Stand up peppers in a rectangle baking dish with just a little water in the bottom. Set aside.
- 5. In a stockpot saute eggplant, tomatoes, vegetables, and seasoning (first 11 ingredients) in 4 tablespoons olive oil until it's really cooked down, stirring occasionally, for about 1 hour.
- 6. In a skillet heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and add breadcrumbs; stir to completely coat breadcrumbs. Continue to cook, stirring constantly until breadcrumbs get about 2 shades darker. Remove from heat and set aside.
- 7. While eggplant mixture is cooking, get a large mixing bowl add beaten eggs, and toasted bread crumbs, (See Note Below), shredded cheese (except cheese for topping) & seasonings. Mix well and set aside.
- 8. When the eggplant mixture has cooked down for an hour or so, add the meat or seafood and cook until hot and/or seafood is cooked through. Taste eggplant mixture and adjust seasoning as needed. Remove from Heat. Add eggs and cheese mixture to eggplant and mix well.
- 9. Stuff mixture into bell peppers and pack firmly. Liberally top with cheese reserved for topping and bake at 350* F for about 20-30 minutes or until cheese is melted and begins to turn golden. Enjoy!
- 10. *Note: Toasting the breadcrumbs is an important step and will keep the mixture from becoming gummy. Toast extra and put in Ziploc bag in freezer for later use.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cut the eggplant in half and scoop out the center, leaving enough meat inside the skin so that it holds its shape when baked. Chop eggplant that has been scooped out of the inside; place in saucepan, cover with water and boil until very soft, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Salt and pepper the beef. Add the seasoned ground beef to the pan, and saute until all of its liquid is evaporated and the beef begins to brown slightly. Let cool briefly, and chop the cooked beef so that there are no large chunks of meat. In another medium saute pan over medium heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, and saute the onion, pepper and garlic together in the oil.
- In a bowl, mix together the cooked eggplant, vegetables, beef, herbs, 1 cup of the cheese, 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs and the egg. Fill the scooped-out eggplant halves with this mixture, dividing it evenly between the two halves.
- Top with chopped tomatoes, the remaining 1/4 cup cheese, remaining 1/4 cup bread crumbs, and season with salt and pepper. Place on an oiled oven tray or baking dish, and bake for 50 minutes. Let cool briefly; slice widthwise and serve.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Cook and stir onion until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add bell peppers and reduce heat to low. Cook and stir for 5 minutes. Pour in vegetable broth. Cook and stir for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Quickly brown eggplant slices - they should be tender enough to roll easily, but not so tender they break apart.

- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Combine mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, and basil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.

- Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Serve with warm bell pepper sauce.

EGGPLANT STUFFED BELL PEPPERS
This recipe was in the Southern Lady magazine Jan/Feb 2006. I used red peppers but you can use either color. I made a few adjustments which I thought made it much easier to prepare. My husband loved it and so did I. Presentation is important, but taste is what matters the most. Try it...you'll like it!!
