Ground Beef And Eggplant Recipe For Tender Meatballs

"This ground beef and eggplant recipe bakes into tender meatballs with a moist, soft texture and a savory Italian-seasoned flavor. The eggplant is cooked down and pulsed fine, then blended into the meat to create moisture making moist meatballs for an easy main dish for weeknights or casual gatherings. This ground beef and eggplant recipe came out of one simple challenge. I had a bag of beautiful graffiti eggplants my daughter brought home from the DeKalb Farmers Market in Atlanta because she thought they were pretty and knew I never pass up eggplant. The real question was how to use them in a way that wouldn’t scare off the kids at my table who usually push eggplant to the side."
