Halal Recipe: Lasagna Style Macaroni Schootel

Macaroni Schootel
Macaroni Schootel

The idea came to me when my children suddenly asked me to cook macaroni schootel, but by chance I did not have a stock of the smoked beef or sausage that is commonly used as stuffing. I used minced beef as stuffing instead . . . and it turned out that they liked it! I hope you do too!

Ingredients:

  • 110 g (1/2 pack) macaroni
  • 50 g onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon butter, for frying
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 400 ml of liquid milk
  • 100 grams of grated cheddar cheese, for dough
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 25 grams of grated cheddar cheese, for sprinkling
  • Parmesan cheese, for sprinkling (additional)

Filling Ingredients:

  • 125 grams of minced beef
  • 50 ounces canned mushrooms, sliced or diced wide
  • 1/2 piece peppers, diced
  • 50 g onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon butter, for frying
  • 3/4 cup tomato sauce (approx)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian herb

How to make:

  1. Boil macaroni and add 1 tablespoon of butter, boil for about 7 min.
  2. Strain macaroni, flush it with cold water, then drain.

Filling:

  1. Saute onion until fragrant.
  2. Then add the minced beef, stir until it changes color.

  8. Grease a heat resistant dish, size 16 x 29 cm with butter.
  9. Pour 1/2 batter macaroni into it.
  10. Flatten the filling on top of it, then cover with the remaining macaroni mixture.
