Linda's Eggplant Dressing

Ingredients:
3 lbs. Ground Chuck
2 med. onions (chopped)
2 eggplants (peeled & sliced)
3 - 4 cups of rice
salt
red pepper
garlic powder 

Directions:
Brown ground meat then drain.  Season with salt, red pepper and garlic powder.  Add chopped onion and cover, stir often.  In seprate pot boil eggplant for 5 - 10 minutes, then let drain well..  After onions start to cook, add eggplant to ground meat.  Cook on low fire for at least 30-40 minutes.  Eggplant should basically dissolve into mixture. If meat starts to dry out add a about ½ cup of water at a time (about 2 - 3 times). You want the meat to be very moist.  After cooking for 30-40 minutes, add cooked rice, BUT add a little at a time.  It will probably take 3-4 cups of rice. Serve hot.
