Eggplant Casserole Melitzanes Me Kreas Sti Katsarola

This dish is being posted for zwt. I'm fond of eggplant & lamb, so i was esp pleased to find this on the net & not find this particular version here on rz. I was also more than just a little surprised to see cheddar cheese as an ingredient rather than the more to be expected feta cheese. The recipe source is greek-recipe.com, who acknowledged bitsyskitchen.com. (pls note: as originally written, this recipe directs you to boil the eggplant. I had never heard of doing that & neither had my expert source, so i amended the eggplant cooking method as detailed.)

Steps

In a lrg skillet , saut eggplant cubes in a sml amt of olive oil till slightly fork tender & set aside in a bowl.
In the same skillet , brown lamb meat & add the onion , green pepper & mushrooms.
