Story

When eggplants are piling up in the grocery store and farmers market, I'm always looking for easy ways to turn them into a meal. Lasagna is something my family loves, and this recipe is so cheesy, even my kids gobble it down, eggplant and all!
Of course, you can fry up some sausage if you want to add meat to the dish. It tastes great either way. Enjoy!
