Eggplant Casserole With Meat

[T]here is nothing in us or done by us at any stage of our earthly development because of which we are acceptable to God. We must always be accepted for Christ’s sake or we cannot ever be accepted at all. This is not true of us only “when we believe,” it is just as true after we have believed. It will continue to be true as long as we live… It is always, on His “blood and righteousness” alone that we can rest. There is never anything that we are or have or do that can take His place or that take a place along with Him. We are always unworthy, and all that we have or do of good is always of pure grace.

INGREDIENTS

2		Eggplants, peeled
2	lb	Ground beef, extra lean
12	oz	Spaghetti, cooked and
		drained
6	c	Tomato sauce, seasoned
		Salt
		Pepper
		Garlic powder

INSTRUCTIONS

Slice eggplant into 1/4" rounds. If desired, salt the slices and let
sit for 1/2 - 1 hour. Rinse and dry. (I do this from habit, but you
can eliminate this step.) Place slices on oiled or Pammed cookie
sheets. Sprinkle with salt (omit if you salted previously), pepper,
and garlic powder. Brush lightly with oil or spray with Pam. Bake in  a
hot oven (about 400F) till soft (15-20 minutes). Meanwhile, brown  the
meat without additional fat in a large skillet. Drain any fat  that is
released. In a large cassrole dish, put a thin layer of the  sauce. Put
1/3 of the eggplant slices over this. Put the spaghetti  over the
eggplant. Pour some of the sauce over this. Put another  third of the
eggplant in. Cover with the meat. Pour more sauce over.  Add the rest
of the eggplant and finish off with a thin layer of  sauce. Bake about
40-45 minutes at 350F.  Difficulty : easy. Precision  : approximate
measurements.  NOTES : Homemade tomato sauce is best, but you can
doctor up canned or  packaged by adding spices. Recipe by: Annice

I commend solitude to any of you who are seeking salvation, first, that you may study well your case as in the sight of God. Few men truly know themselves as they really are. Most people have seen themselves in a looking-glass, but there is another looking-glass, which gives true reflections, into which few men look. To study one’s self in the light of God’s Word, and carefully to go over one’s condition, examining both the inward and the outward sins, and using all the tests which are given us in the Scriptures, would be a very healthy exercise; but how very few care to go through it!

C.H. Spurgeon
