Pastitsio Without The Pasta - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Sauce
    2 tablespoons flour
    2 tablespoons butter
    2 cups milk
    seasoning (I used salt, nutmeg, oregano and cinnamon)
    Meat
    2 lbs ground beef
    1 onion, diced
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
    1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
    seasoning (I used salt, freshly ground black pepper, oregano, cinnamon and mint)
    parmesan cheese, for topping
Preparation
    In large saucepan, brown ground beef.
    When beef is almost done, add onions and garlic and continue cooking until beef is cooked through and onions are soft.
    Add seasonings and Parmesan cheese and mix well; set aside.
    To make the sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
    Add the flour and stir to create a paste, cooking until the paste is thick and bubbly but not brown.
    Add milk and stir constantly until the sauce begins to thicken (can add more milk if consistency is too thick).
    Add seasonings to sauce and mix well.
    Pour sauce into meat mixture and add feta cheese; stir until thoroughly combined.
    Pour mixture into a greased 8\" x 8\" casserole dish, top with additional Parmesan cheese, and bake for 20 minutes in a preheated 350-degree oven.
