BEST BEEF PARMIGIANA
I love any kind of parmigiana dish, veal, chicken, whatever! But I must say this stuff is amazing! For the tomato sauce, I use my own homemade tomato sauce, which I have also posted the recipe for here on JAP. So if you're using the homemade sauce or a commercial spaghetti sauce skip the sauce steps and omit those ingredients....

Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. Look for fresh, flavorful tomatoes, and use a good quality Parmesan cheese.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the eggplant slices. This will prevent them from getting crispy.
- Be careful not to overcook the eggplant slices. They should be tender but still have a little bit of bite to them.
- Make sure the sauce is simmering for at least 30 minutes before using it. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- For a cheesy, gooey interior, use a combination of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Serve the beef Parmigiana immediately with a side of pasta or vegetables.
