For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the ground beef mixture. To prevent the eggplant from becoming soggy, make sure to drain any excess moisture from the pulp before adding it to the filling. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as mozzarella or Parmesan, to customize the dish to your liking. Serve with a side salad or crusty bread for a complete and satisfying meal.
