Luby's Baked Eggplant Casserole image

I was looking for the Luby Eggplant Casserole, and a Luby relative offered this recipe to someone. I wrote and asked if they'd share, and this is the recipe. I've never eaten at Luby's, but I'm told this is their recipe.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 medium eggplant (Peeled and diced)
0.5 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of chicken soup or 0.5 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of celery soup
1 cup whole kernel corn
1 medium yellow onion (diced)
1 large fresh tomato (diced)
1 cup bacon, small Pieces
1/4 cup margarine
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
4 ounces shredded American cheese (about 4 slices)
1 (16 ounce) packet Mexican cornbread mix
shredded cheddar cheese (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Bake Mexican cornbread per packet directions. Cut into halves after baking as you will only use 1/2 (approx 8x4x1").
  • Note: If you know how to make Mexican cornbread from scratch, it's better than the individual packets, but the packets will do. Slice bacon into small 1/8-1/4" pieces and fry in a deep skillet until almost done (brown but not crispy).
  • Dice eggplant, onion, and tomato into 1/4-1/2" pieces.
  • Add first onion to skillet and saute about 5 minutes on med-low. Add eggplant, tomato, salt, pepper, garlic powder, corn, margarine and saute another 5-7 minutes. Everything is now becoming transparent and starting to mesh together nicely.
  • Add chicken or celery soup, mix in, then add American cheese and stir until cheese has fully melted into mixture.
  • Take half the cornbread you baked, crumble it, and stir into the mixture. Pour into 9x3" round casserole dish or comparable square one and cover with foil.
  • Bake at 350°F for 40-50 minutes or until internal temperature is 165°F Remove foil and cover with shredded cheddar for final 10 minutes of baking. Do not let cheddar turn dark.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my casserole turned out watery. It was still tasty, but not as good as I expected.
