Pastichio(Baked Macaroni) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lb. ground round
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 small can tomato sauce
1 lb. macaroni (medium size)
6 eggs
1 stick margarine, melted
2 c. milk
2 c. freshly grated cheese (Romano or Parmesan)

Preparation

Brown meat and onions slowly (will make its own grease).
When meat is browned, add garlic powder and tomato sauce, blending well.
Cook macaroni just until tender.
Drain and set aside.
Mix eggs, margarine and milk together and set aside.
Lightly butter 9 x 13-inch pan and put down a layer of macaroni, packing well.
Add layer of cheese and a layer of meat.
Repeat the three layers, ending with the rest of the pasta, meat and cheese.
Pour egg mixture over top and, using a knife, make wide cuts in the pastichio so the egg mixture will run through pasta.
Oh, so good! Bake at 350\u00b0 for 1 hour.
Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
