How to Make Greek Casserole
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and chopped onions in 4 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in the tomato paste, red wine, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Add the canned diced tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and let the meat mixture cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, gently mix the cooled meat mixture with the beaten egg and fine bread crumbs.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the Parmesan and Romano cheeses.
- Butter a large casserole dish (approximately 9x13 inches).
- Sprinkle the bottom of the casserole dish with 1/4 cup of the coarse bread crumbs.
- Layer half of the cooked macaroni over the bread crumbs. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the cheese mixture.
- Spread half of the meat mixture evenly over the macaroni and cheese.
- Top with half of the remaining cheese mixture, then layer with the remaining macaroni.
- Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the macaroni. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese mixture.
- Top with the remaining coarse bread crumbs.
- Pour melted butter evenly over the top.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
