ATK Challenge: Skillet Pastitsio (p. 268)

Pastitsio is a classic Greek baked casserole (according to my cookbook). I'd never heard of the stuff, but the picture looked tasty. The meat in this dish is lamb. I like lamb, but sometimes it can be overpowering. And eating it always reminds me of this:



Does anyone else remember this episode when Lisa decides to become a vegetarian? Then the little lamb tells her "Pleeeeeese don't eeeeeeat me!" Gotta love that show :)
This recipe turned out really delicious. The combination of the flavors really complimented each other. The lamb was not overpowering at all. It's topped with crumbled Feta, so how could this go wrong? 
You start out by cooking the ground lamb, then use some of the grease to cook the chopped onion. The spices used were oregano and a smidgen of cinnamon and of course some garlic. The noodles were broken up lasagne noodles (per the recipes instruction). On top of all that I spread a giant can of diced tomatoes and then added some heavy cream at the end to thicken the sauce. The Feta gets added when it is served. Those left overs are going to get devoured tomorrow!
RATINGS:
Flavor: 5 out of 5 stars (a lot of skillet meals just suck in our opinion, but not this one!)Easiness: 5 out of 5 stars (not a lot of prep and I was able to clean as I cooked)Time Spent: 30 minutes Repeat Dish? Did Mary have a little lamb?
Hubby's Comments: "After I let this cool down, I could taste all the flavors. It was good!"
