I found this recipe about 10yrs ago & it's become a favorite. And you can have fun with it by changing it up a bit. I've actually made it more moussaka like by making it with chopped & skinned eggplant instead of the green beans, YUMMY! Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups french style green beans, frozen |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 lb ground beef |
1 small onion, finely chopped |
2 garlic cloves, finely minced |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
3/4 teaspoon oregano leaves |
8 ounces tomato sauce |
2 eggs, beaten |
1 1/2 cups small curd cottage cheese |
1/2-3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated |
1 (4 ounce) can sliced ripe olives |
1 -2 green onion, thinly sliced with green |
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Spread the green beans on the bottom of a 8x12 pan.
3. Saute the onion & garlic together with the olive oil for 2 minutes. Add the ground beef & brown. Drain fat. Stir in salt, cinnamon, oregano, & tomato sauce.
4. Spoon the meat mixture on top of the green beans.
5. In a small bowl mix together eggs, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, olives, & green onions. The olives and/or green onions can be optional. Spread this mixture over the meat mixture.
6. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
7. Bake. When done let cool about 5 minutes before cutting to get good slices.
