Ingredients

for 4 servings

2 lb
ground beef (910 g)
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons
salted butter
garlic powder, to taste
⅓ cup
flour (40 g)
onion powder, to taste
3 cups
milk (710 mL)
2 lb
rigatoni, cooked (455 g)
4 eggs, beaten
24 oz
marinara sauce (680 g)
3 cups
shredded mozzarella cheese (300 g)
½ cup
parmesan cheese (55 g)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°F (190˚C.)
In a skillet, cook and crumble the ground beef with garlic powder, onion, powder, salt, & pepper. Remove from pan and drain.
In the same pan, melt the butter, and mix with the flour until it forms a paste.
Add the milk gradually, and bring to a boil, until it thickens into a creamy sauce. Set aside.
In a bowl, mix the rigatoni with the eggs. Divide between two 9x13 inch (23x33 centimeter) baking dishes.
Layer on the marinara, ground beef, mozzarella, white sauce, and parmesan.
Bake both for 30-35 minutes, or until cheese is melted and golden brown.
Cool and freeze extra casserole up to 2 months. (To cook, transfer to the refrigerator overnight. Bake covered at 375°F (190°C) for 40 minutes. Remove cover and bake an additional 10 minutes.)
Enjoy!

Did half the recipe but still used 24oz of sauce as well as added garlic powder and onion powder to the white sauce. Turned out great.

This turned out amazing! My picky siblings both got seconds. Saw a tip on here to increase seasoning, so I put garlic powder and salt in the white sauce. It was delicious.
