“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 variation.” - by Bethany T.

Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Grease the bottom and sides of 9x13 inch baking dish.
- 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.
- Cook and stir ground beef, onion, mushrooms, and garlic in a skillet over medium heat until the beef is completely browned, about 10 minutes.
- Stir canned tomatoes into ground beef; simmer until sauce has formed, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Pour about one-fourth of the sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Layer noodles on top of sauce.
- Spread a thin layer of sauce on top of noodles.
- Place a layer of eggplant slices on top of noodle and sauce layer.
- Sprinkle about one-fourth of the cheese on top of eggplant slices.
- Repeat layering with remaining ingredients, until ending with a layer of sauce topped with remaining cheese.
- Bake in preheated oven until cheese is bubbly and brown on top, about 40 minutes.

"I have had a lapband for several years. It makes it impossible to enjoy lasagne as it gets stuck. This recipe which I made last night, with one small deviation, is the answer to my prayers for a gre..." See moreat "lasagne.". The eggplant makes a wonderful substitute for lasagne noodles. I added a palmful of Italian seasoning. Shredded Parmesan cheese to top of the richness. The recipe is a wonderful base recipe. We didn't miss the noodles at all. This is great for gluten free diets also. Thanks for sharing!"

"I made a few changes. I used jarred spaghetti sauce instead of canned tomatoes to get more flavor. I used the same amount of sauce as I would have used in tomatoes. It needed more sauce (as someone..." See more else also mentioned). So I had to add more. The other change I made was to use a different shredded cheese. I opted for an Italian 5 cheese blend as husband doesn't care for cheddar. It was a nice lasagna. However, the eggplant did not get cooked. (even with increasing the cooking time) I sliced it thin too. Next time I may either cube it and cook with the beef and sauce, or may pan fry it slightly before baking."
