    I tried this recipe for the first time. As usual it was delicious. I used two small eggplants and cut them in half. I scored them and put 2T oil on top. I roasted them face down at 400 F for 15 minutes. I scooped out the insides, sauteed them with the onion, pepper, and garlic and then I added the ground meat. From that point on I followed the recipe. The eggplant only needed to be warmed through at this point as it was already cooked.

    I followed the recipe step by step but for some reason the eggplant was still not cooked properly at 50 minutes of bake time. The filling had good flavor.

    I made this recipe but instead of using 1/2 pound of ground beef I used 1 pound by mistake. I realized my error and continued with the recipe anyway. Instead of 4 portions it was more like six portions.

    I cooked it in the oven for the 50 minutes the recipe recommended, and it was okay, but I really didn't think I would make it again (realize I NEVER cook eggplant, so did not realize the eggplant was not totally cooked!. The next day I put it in the oven with something else and cooked it an additional 45 minutes on 350, and realized that the result of the added ground beef was that the eggplant did not get fully cooked the first go-round. The long and the short of it is, I LOVED IT! Once the meat of the eggplant was totally cooked, this dish is easily one of my favorite vegetable recipes!

    I followed the recipe to the letter, but for me it was a little bland. I was expecting bold flavor, but it just wasn't there. Probably just a difference in personal taste.

    this was fabulous to say the least. Well worth the prep. I should have drained my cooked eggplant a little better; that was my fault. But it still turned out great. I also had less ground beef & more peppers which worked out fine. Next time I will make sure I have EXACT amounts Michael calls for; but as I said, it still turned out great. I will archive this recipe & make it often. What a tribute to his Mama. I prepare old German recipes handed down for 100's of yrs. Mama's are still the best! Touche Chiarello!

    Just made the eggplant. Heavenly!!! I used 2 small eggplants instead of 1 large and had PLENTY of filling. I also added about .5 lbs of italian sausage to the filling and it gave it a little extra punch! Next time (per another reviewer I will add some red pepper flakes. Delicious and looks really nice!!! Will recommend this easy and scrumptious recipe to my friends!!
