Directions

Prep 40 minCook 240 min
  1. 1

    Toss the eggplant cubes with about half of the salt in a colander and let stand 30 minutes to draw out moisture; rinse and pat very dry.

  2. 2

    Drizzle the eggplant with the olive oil and toss to coat evenly.

  3. 3

    In a bowl, combine ground beef with the remaining salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard until evenly mixed.

  4. 4

    Press the beef mixture into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a slow cooker to form a thin layer.

  5. 5

    Layer the oiled eggplant over the beef. Pour in the diced tomatoes and tomato sauce, spreading evenly.

  6. 6

    Cover and cook on Low 3 to 4 hours (or on High 2 to 3 hours) until the eggplant is tender and the beef is cooked through.

  7. 7

    Sprinkle the mozzarella, parsley, and oregano over the top. Cover and cook until the cheese melts, about 10 to 15 minutes.

  8. 8

    Let stand 5 minutes, then spoon into bowls and serve hot.
