Week 4: Pastitsio

This week I only made one recipe, not because I don't enjoy cooking all the time, but because I'm making recipes designed for 4-6 people, and there are only 2 of us!  So I make plenty of food and we have lots of left-overs.  So this week, we needed to eat some of those left-overs.

Pastitsio
This is sort of like a fancy goulosh.  Elbow macaroni, ground beef, onion, and tomato sauce are the basics in this recipe.  I layered the noodles and beef mixture into a baking dish, then in a sauce pan mixed Parmesan cheese, butter, flour, milk, and egg.  Finally, I poured the milk/cheese mixture over the meat and noodles.  Lastly, I baked it all together.

Michael and I enjoyed this recipe, but there seemed to be something missing from it.  I thought all it needed was a little more salt, Michael added some more spaghetti sauce and cheddar and thought that helped.  For that reason this recipe earns 2.5 out of 4 stars (yup, switching to stars now...  Maybe next month I'll choose something different to measure by).  Michael gives it 1 star, I give it 1.5.

Once again, if you want any recipes, just comment on the blog, send me a facebook message, call, or text me and I'm happy to pass along any recipes.

This recipe came from my December and January Taste of Home magazine
