    1       lb           Ground meat
      1/2   c            Bell pepper, chopped
      1/2   c            Celery, chopped
    1                    Garlic clove
    2       c            Eggplant, diced
    2       tb           Parsley
    1       c            Uncooked rice
    1                    Envelope of onion soup mix
      1/2   ts           Oregano
    1       cn           Tomato paste 6 oz.
    3       c            Water
      1/4   c            Ripe olives
    1       c            Bread crumbs
      1/2   c            Parmesan cheese
    2       tb           Margarine, melted
                         Salt and pepper to taste
 
   Brown the beef; drain excess fat.  Add green pepper,
   celery and garlic. Saute until tender.  Stir in salt
   and pepper, eggplant (my favorite), parsley, rice,
   oregano, soup mix, tomato paste and water. Bring to a
   boil; cover and simmer for 20 minutes.  Pour into
   greased casserole or baking pan.  Sprinkle with mixed
   bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and margarine. Top with
   ripe olives.  Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. (I
   usually omit the olives) Randy Rigg
