Greek Style Lamb and Macaroni Casserole image

Credit goes to Ian Hewitson - Huey's Cooking Adventures. (An Aussie cooking show) A little fiddley...but worth it! And economical too. Served with some green beans on the side, or on its own, its a complete meal. You can use beef mince but lamb works best.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my casserole turned out really watery. I think I may have added too much liquid.

I thought this dish was just okay. The lamb was a bit dry and the sauce was a bit too thick.
