Sunday Breakfast "Moussaka"

Today's version of a doorknock dinner. (working with what I had in the pantry) on the fly. It turned out awesome! Not for those watching fat and calories.

6 or so, red potatoes, sliced thinly and parboiled

1 lb of lean ground pork, browned

1/2 white onion, pureed in food processor.

1 tsp poultry seasoning

1/2 tsp salt

2 cups???? Cheddar cheese, grated

3 tbsp butter

3 tbsp flour

2 or so cups of milk. (whole, or 2%. Skim will not work as well)

6 eggs

pinch nutmeg.

3 tbsp Parmesan, grated

Prepare potatoes, parboil, let cool. Grease a lasagna pan with butter. line pan with potatoes.

Brown pork in a skillet, then turn down and add the onion, poultry seasoning and salt. saute for 2 minutes.

pour on top of potato layer.  Layer the rest of the potatoes on the meat. (Add about 1/4 of water to this, so that it doesn't dry out too much when baking)

Grated cheese on the potato layer.

Bechamel.

Melt butter over med heat, add flour stir till bubbly.  don't brown. Add 2 cups milk and whisk over med-high heat till thickened. (should get really thick with a fudge like trace)

Let cool down a bit. Add eggs one at a time, whisking so that the eggs are incorporated instead of going lumpy. Add nutmeg and Parmesan, whisk in.

pour on top of cheese layer.

Bake at 350 for about half an hour. The top should be all golden and "set".

Let stand for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Sorry, no pics. And it is all gone. :) Next time, I will make a fruit salad with it, or a Waldorf salad.

YUmmmm!

Fabulous! But you always make it seem so easy! For me, it's never easy! I AM coming for dinner - one of these days! ;-)
