A lot of you have commented that you love the Beef-A-Roni, so here is a marriage of two loves the Beef-A-Roni and PIZZA! You would never guess that the "noodle" replacement is a vegetable. The eggplant sucks up all the flavors from the sauce and spices.
4 links of Bolinski's Chicken Sausage
1 lb Italian sausage, cooked
1/4 cup onion, diced
1/2 cup colored bell peppers, diced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
Salt & pepper
1 can No-Sugar Marinara sauce
3 cups eggplant, cut into cubes
1 clove of garlic, minced (optional)
1 TBS parsley
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Peel and cube the eggplant into 1/2 inch squares. Place in a skillet with marinara, onion, pepper, mushrooms and garlic. Simmer for 10 minutes or until the eggplant is soft.
In a casserole dish, add the eggplant mixture, sliced sausage and Italian sausage. Add salt, pepper and spices to your liking. Top with cheese (if desired) and bake for 20 minutes. Enjoy!
