Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cut the tofu into slices about 1/2 inch (1.2 cm) thick. Wrap them in paper towels and microwave for 2 minutes to draw out moisture. Gently press to remove as much liquid as possible, then set aside.
3. Finely chop the onion and garlic. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat and brown the ground beef. Add the onion and garlic and cook until fragrant. Stir in the tomato sauce, cover and simmer for about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Arrange the tofu slices in one layer in a baking dish. Spread the meat sauce evenly over the tofu and sprinkle with cheese.
5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until heated through and the cheese has melted.
