I love to make this simple Greek Style Ground Beef & Lamb Pasta Bake. It is full of delicious Greek flavors like oregano, lemon, and feta cheese. When I eat this, if I close my eyes, I can almost imagine that I’m back on one of Greece’s beautiful islands.
To make this delicious bake, start by cooking beef and lamb. Add onion, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and thyme, along with tomato sauce, tomatoes, and lemon juice. As the sauce simmers, cook the pasta according to package directions and drain. Mix with the sauce and transfer to a baking dish. Sprinkle with feta cheese and bake until cooked. Delicious!
To make my version of Greek Beef & Lamb Pasta Bake, you will need the following ingredients:
Heat your oven to 325 °F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
Cook ½ pound each of beef and lamb in a large skillet, over medium heat until no pinkness remains. Drain excess grease.
Add 1 large chopped onion, 4 minced garlic cloves, 3 teaspoons of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of dried basil, ½ a teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of pepper, and ¼ teaspoon of dried thyme. Stir in 1 can of tomato sauce, 1 can of tomatoes, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
Bring the sauce to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add 1 teaspoon of sugar and ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon and continue to simmer for 15 minutes.
As the sauce simmers, cook the pasta in a large pot of water, according to package directions. Drain the pasta and stir into the meat mixture.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with 4 ounces of feta cheese. Cover the dish and bake in the oven for 45 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to bake for 15 more minutes until heated through.
Serve hot with a Greek salad on the side.
