Ingredients

Onion1 medium
Garlic2 cloves
Ketchup1 cup
Starch base6 slices
Milk0.5 cup
Salt0.5 tsp
Black pepper0.25 tsp

Method

1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the ground meat, breaking it apart as it cooks, until no pink remains, about 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.

2

Add diced onion and minced garlic to the meat; cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

3

Stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.

4

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread the starch base (bread cubes, crackers, or cooked pasta) evenly in a 9x13 baking dish.

5

Pour the meat sauce over the starch base and spread to coat evenly.

6

Whisk together milk and beaten egg in a small bowl. Pour over the meat and starch layer.

7

Top with shredded cheese, spreading evenly.

8

Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until the top is lightly browned and the casserole is bubbling at the edges.

9

Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
