Eggplant Parmesan Casserole

This recipe is another adaptation from Wegmans. It is even easier than the one I always used to use from the Moosewood cookbook where I had to pre-bake the eggplant. This one cooks everything together and it tastes delicious. I made it a few months ago and I'm going to make it for dinner tomorrow night for the girls.
