Never again!!!!

This might be a good meal if you don't actually follow the recipe. Do everything Campbell's asks you to do and you end up with eight pathetic stacks of vegetable that taste like salty parsley and onion. If I ever attempt to make this again, I would double the amount of ingredients, not bake the eggplant in advance, use diced tomato and sauce instead of tomato slices, and caramelize the onions. I would also add layers of mozzarella cheese (because no one is going to taste that 1/4 cup of parmesan in all that salted parsley-flavored goo), layer everything like a decent casserole or lasagna and bake covered. While we're at it, lets replace the Campbell's soup with a nice white sauce. Of course, this alters the nutritional value of the meal, but as the original meal was essentially a salted onion, I figure a few added calories can't hurt. You ruined my evening Campbell's.

Delicious

If you are using fresh veggies, I see no reason to mask their flavor with hot peppers and garlic. This is fine just as it is. Seasoned bread crumbs are a nice addition and there is plenty of salt in the soup. The only thing I would do differently is press the eggplant with weights and salt to drain the excess water. Rinse the egplant with fresh water and use as directed. Great meal in itself or as a side dish. : )

Eggplant Tomato Gratin

We found this to be very bland. I will say I did exactly as called for in recipe. It needed way more flavor. If I was to make this again I would add some heat and more fresh herbs.
