...Very fattening but delicious :P

Ingredients:

2 eggplants (I had these 2 small round funky ones I got from a farmers market, decided to try those)
-halved, and scooped some flesh inside to hollow, then salted a bit to 'sweat' them a bit

1 large onion chopped
2-3 cloves garlic chopped

4 Italian snausage patties, broken up
3 large ground beef patties

1/2 cup pureed zucchini (we had also made some stuffed zucchini with this as well, but since I've done that recipe a million times already, I won't bother to post that :P)
1/2 cup panko or Italian breadcrumbs

salt and pepper to taste
Italian seasoning
small pinch of rosemary

1 jar pre-made spaghetti sauce

1 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

A whole bag of pre-shredded mozzarella (1/2 for the zucchini and 1/2 for the eggplant)

To make:

Get the biggest saute / frying pan you have, coat with olive oil, and get to a good medium-high.

Saute your onions and garlic until translucent (2-3 minutes)

Crumble in your raw snausage and beef patties, (if they're still chunky just break them up with your spatula) then put in your pureed zucchini, cook until the meat is no longer pink - keep in mind, though, you will have a lot of liquid in there! Take it off the heat temporarily and get a turkey baster along with a throwaway tin / container and suck out that juice until you only have a little left. (I find its easier than using a strainer, and I don't lose any meat along the way.)

Then, put it BACK on your burner, and put in 1/2 of the spaghetti sauce and your panko/Italian breadcrumbs, cook until its all blended, cover and keep on simmer.

Get a decent-sized casserole or oven dish, spray with "PAM" or coat with olive oil...

Then coat with maybe 2 - 3 tablespoons spaghetti sauce...

Then fill your eggplant with the meat mixture and bake at 350 F for 35 minutes, covered

BUT

At the last five minutes, take out and shake on that mozzarella, and cook until good and melty!

Then serve and enjoy!
