Ingredients - Serves 6

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Cook the macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is softened.
Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir well to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs.
Grease a baking dish with butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
Layer half of the cooked macaroni in the baking dish, followed by half of the ground beef mixture.
Repeat the layers with the remaining macaroni and ground beef.
Pour the milk and egg mixture over the layers in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the mixture is set.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
