Macaroni casserole with minced meat is a traditional Finnish dish (Finnish name is lihamakaronilaatikko... hands up who can pronounce it!) which takes some work to prepare but makes up a delicious and nutricious meal!

Start off by boiling macaroni (see topic How to boil pasta!) and then proceed to fry some minced meat with chopped onion. The right way to do this is heat up the pan, then add some oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onions. When the onions start to get a little color on the surface, add the meat (which should be room temperature at this point so take it out of the fridge a little earlier).

If you fancy a little spicy kick, add some spicy Italian sausage. Chop is in small chunks and cook it with the rest of the meat.

Secret to a good taste - plenty of cheese! Use cheddar, american, swiss, parmiggiano or any mix of them.

Next up is "egg milk"... mix in a bowl eggs and milk.

Add some black pepper... freshly ground is always better.

So this is what we have so far. Fried minced meat, boiled pasta, shredded cheese and egg milk. Time to put it all together!

Take out a large oven-proof container and butter it well! Put half of the macaroni on the bottom and cover with shredded cheese.

Layer the meat over the pasta and top it with sliced tomatoes.

Finish with the rest of the pasta followed by even more cheese. Pour the egg milk over everything so it fills the container almost to the top.

Bake in the oven... Let the casserole sit a while before serving, then use a large serving spoon to dig out the size of portions you like!
Salad goes well with the casserole, and most importantly - serve with plenty of ketchup! (This is one of the only times when the chef will not be offended if you use ketchup, so enjoy the opportunity!)
