Macaroni Schotel

I want to share a recipe this time....
Seems like so many people happened to arrive in this article either accidentally or on purpose, so I'll try to re-write it in English.
Well...this is one of my favourite food:). I called it macaroni schotel, or baked macaroni and cheese.

Ingredients :
- 250 gr macaroni
- 250 gr minced beef
- 8 chicken eggs
- 150 ml fresh milk
- 200 gr (or as desired) mix of parmesan, cheddar, and mozarella cheese (grated). You might also find it in supermarket sold as pizza cheese.
- 100 gr cream cheese
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 garlic, diced
- salt
- pepper (powder and flakes).
- butter
- canola/vegetable oil

Cooking instructions :
- Cook macaroni in boiled water. Add some salt and diced garlic to make it more tasty. Drain afterwards.  
- Pour small amount of oil into a pan, stir fry diced onion and garlic until they smell good, then add the minced beef. Cook it well, add salt and pepper (powder) as desired.
- After the minced beef well-cooked, add cream cheese, continue stirring for about 3 minutes, then turn the stove off.
- In the meantime, pre-heat the oven to 180 degree Celcius
- Mix the macaroni, minced beef, and 100 gr of the grated cheese into a big bowl, stir thoroughly, add pepper (flakes) as desired 

- Prepare the baking pan, spread a thin layer of butter on its surface.

- Fill the baking pan with the macaroni-minced beef mixture, about half of its depth.
- In another bowl, whisk all eggs, mix it with fresh milk, stir well.
- Pour this eggs-milk mixture into the baking pan until the first layer of the macaroni mixture soaked.
- Add the grated cheese on top of this soaked macaroni to make a layer of cheese.
- Add the rest of macaroni mixture on top of it, then pour the egg-milk mixture to soak all of the macaroni
- Lastly, spread the rest of the grated cheese all over the surface to make another layer of cheese on top.
- Bake it for about 45 minutes until its colour is golden-brownish 

PS. Hot chili sauce or tomato sauce will be a great partner for this baked macaroni.  

Bon appetit! :)
