2 or 3 lg. potatoes, peeled and sliced thin (raw)
1 1/2 lbs. ground chuck or ground turkey
2 c. raw onion rings
3 c. tomato slices (fresh) or 1 lg. can tomatoes, reserve juice
2 cloves crushed garlic
Salt and pepper to taste

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Brown meat in small amount of olive oil; drain. Add seasonings. In a large casserole dish or Dutch oven, layer the following: Eggplant Meat Tomatoes Onion slices

Repeat until all is used, with a meat layer on top. Bake 1 hour or until potatoes and onions are done. Should be bubbly, so use reserved juice if necessary. Add grated cheese and return to melt. Cook early and let stand to absorb flavors.
