Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggplants, sliced into 1-inch rounds
  • 1 lb (450 g) lean ground beef
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the eggplant rounds with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast for 20 minutes until tender.
  2. Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the ground beef until browned. Add the onion and cook until softened, then stir in the garlic.
  3. Mix in the Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, then remove from the heat.
  4. Arrange the roasted eggplant rounds on a baking tray and spoon the beef mixture generously over each round.
  5. Top with mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, and the crumbled bacon.
  6. Bake for 12–15 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
  7. Broil for 2 minutes for an extra crispy cheese topping.
  8. Garnish with chopped chives, parsley, and extra bacon before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add some crushed red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.
  • Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
  • These can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving.
