OK, so I'm Finnish and therefore probably biased, but I do like macaroni bake! :-) The way I season this dish is by using beef bouillon cubes: I use about 1 cube/300g ground beef and just mix it in while I'm browning the meat. I add about 1 ts of salt and black pepper to the milk & eggs mixture, and top the whole thing with dry breadcrumbs before sticking it into the over. Ahh! Thanks for posting kolibri!

This, as expected, was a huge hit with the kids (8 & 5). I would add more salt. I wonder if when I converted to US measurements, things got a little off & I rounded up for the meat & macaroni & down for the sauce? I overcooked it so the macaroni on top was crunchy. Next time, I'm going to cover it 1/2 way through baking. Nice, easy, simple, comfort food.

After living in England for seven years, we moved to Vancouver Canada end of 2004. Culinaristically the journey couldn't have been much longer - I've discovered the joy of cooking and baking all over here. Recipezaar is giving a brand new way of doing this - and makes husband happy too.
