Makaroonilaatikko: Finnish Macaroni Casserole

Feb 15, 2008 - My boyfriend and I decided to cook something together on Valentine's Day (I normally do the cooking, he takes care of the dishes!) and we ended up making a very popular (but basic) dish from his native Finland. Makaroonilaatikko is very easy to make and only requires four ingredients (eggs, milk, macaroni, ground beef) if you follow the recipe, but since Finnish cooking isn't the most tasteful, we modified it a bit by adding a few things. Here's our improved recipe: Recipe: - 1 package whole wheat macaroni (400g or 14oz) - 1 red onion, halved, then thinly sliced - 2 garlic cloves, minced - 1 lb ground beef - meat of 2 Italian sausages - 1 liter milk - 4 eggs - 1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated, + more for serving Preheat oven to 350°F. - 21 Comments
