This was a tasty casserole, and everyone thought it was yummy! It was very similar to Greek Pastitsio. I doubled the recipe, and layered it in a 13" x 9" x 2" baking pan. (It filled the pan, but didn't overflow while baking.) Even with doubling the recipe, I didn't need to increase the cooking time. This was a hit, Evie! Thanks!
