Cajun Eggplant: (this is a serving for 2)
1 eggplant (I got this one out of my garden)
1/2 lb hamburger meat
1/2 cup chopped red pepper
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon "Slap Ya Mama" seasoning or you can use any Cajun seasoning
3/4 cup shredded cheese, any kind you have in your refrigerator (I used hot pepper jack cheese)
1/2 cup crushed tomatoes or kick it up and use salsa
This is so flexible that you can change it up with your favorite pepper, seasonings and cheese.
Brown your hamburger meat in a skillet, adding onions, peppers, and Slap Ya Mama. While that's cooking, cook your rice as directed on the package. Also, cut your eggplant lengthwise in half as shown below.
Cook your eggplant, on microwave safe plate for four to five minutes, the insides will soften. Let cool, when done.
In mixing bowl scrap the eggplant meat out leaving a little eggplant boat. Save it, your going to use it later. Mix in your hamburger mixture, rice and crushed tomatoes. Stir and put in eggplant boat. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
Time to taste. I hope you enjoy. Until next time Be Sweet and Stay Sweet!
