This low carb eggplant parm lasagna casserole combines the tastes of two popular dishes. It makes a very delicious and filling meal.
This is an easy Italian style casserole that tastes like a cross between eggplant parmesan and lasagna. I used hot Italian sausage and sliced it up after it was cooked.
You can use either bulk or link sausage in mild or hot. I thought the spicy sausage gave this low carb eggplant parm lasagna casserole a nice flavor. My eggplant was just picked fresh out of the garden.
If the eggplant is store bought, you may want to salt it and let it sit in a colander to remove any bitterness. And, you can remove the skin if desired.
