Baked Mc!

Cook the macaroni (or any pasta shape you wish including lasagna) to al dente. Set aside.

For the Red Sauce:
Saute garlic, white onions and ground beef (may use pork or corned beef). Add chopped bell pepper, grated carrots and a small can of tomato sauce or spaghetti sauce. You may add ketchup if you want it Filipino style. Simmer until bubbly. Add a teaspoon of soy sauce, a pinch of salt, a dash of pepper and a teaspoon of sugar. Simmer again for a few minutes and add grated cheese. Set aside.

For the White Sauce:
Heat pan over low heat. Add in butter, a teaspoon of flour, 2 cups evaporated milk and cream of mushroom. Stir until thick. Sprinkle a dash of nutmeg and remove from heat. Set aside.

Combine cooked macaroni and white sauce. Distribute evenly.

In a medium oven-proof or microwavable dish, put in half the macaroni, followed by the red sauce. Create another layer of this. Garnish with grated or sliced cheese on top. Preheat oven at 250 degrees for 10 minutes. Bake the macaroni for 20-30 minutes or until cheese is melted and slightly burnt. If using a microwave oven, bake the macaroni for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
