Ingredients
    1 lb lean ground chuck
    1 lb lean ground lamb
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    2 onions, chopped
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    1 teaspoon oregano, crushed
    1 cup tomato sauce
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    2 eggs, lightly beaten
    1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
    1/2 cup butter, melted
    12 sheets phyllo pastry
Preparation
    In a skillet, saute ground meat in olive oil with onions until browned; season with salt, oregano and pepper; add tomato sauce & cinnamon.
    In a small bowl, beat eggs and stir in Parmesan cheese; when ground meat has cooled, fold in the eggs and cheese mixture.
    Butter a 9x13 inch baking pan; arrange six sheets of Phyllo pastry on bottom of pan, buttering each sheet with the melted butter.
    Spread a layer of cooled meat mixture evenly on Phyllo & cover with remaining six phyllo sheets, brushing each with melted butter.
    Trim edges of Phyllo to fit pan with a sharp knife; slice through top of pastry to form diamond shapes.
    Bake in a preheated 350\u00b0F oven until pastry is golden crisp, about 20 to 25 minutes.
