To make the topping, melt the butter (or margarine) in a saucepan
and mix in the flour to form a paste. Add the milk and heat at medium
stirring constantly until mixture thickens. When thick, add parmesan
and crumbled feta cheese and stir until melted. A few tablespoons of
parmesan and about 6 ounces of feta.

LET THIS MIXTURE COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE ADDING THE BEATEN EGGS!!!
After the eggs are stirred in, pour this mixture over the meat and
pasta. Bake about 45 min or until brown.

This dish is a bit like moussaka because of the topping.

NOTE: 6/12/93 - Made this dish with Montery Jack cheese instead of
feta. Used 1 to 1 1/2 cup tomato sauce instead of canned tomatoes and
2 eggs. Came out Delicious!!! - Set oven for 350-375F and cook a full
40 minutes.
