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
