Beef 'n' Eggplant Pie image

Everyone likes eggplant when you taste it in this savory pie. If you have eggplant in the garden or can get it at the market, I'd recommend this recipe. If the eggplant is large and the skin seems tough, its a good idea to peel it first. -Audrey Nemeth Chesterville, Maine

I had a hard time finding eggplant at my local grocery store. I ended up using zucchini instead and it turned out great!

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices.

I made this recipe for my family and they all loved it. The eggplant was a bit too soft for my taste, but everyone else seemed to enjoy it.
