PASTELON 
1 lb. ground beef
2 tsp. seasoning mixture
1 tsp. tomato sauce
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. thyme
1/8 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. minced garlic
1/4 tsp. salt
1 green pepper (sm.)
1 sm. onion
5 plantains, ripe (almost black color skin)
1 egg
1/2 c. shredded Mozzarella cheese
1/2 c. shredded Cheddar cheese

While ground beef is browning, add all the seasonings. Complete browning. Be sure that there are no clumps in the meats; break the meat up very fine. Drain well.

Cut plantains lengthwise as thin as possible (at least 1/4 inch thin). Fry in hot oil until turns brown. Drain well.

In a 9 inch square pan, beat egg in pan. Coat bottom of pan with egg. Line bottom and sides of pan with fried plantains. Sprinkle in meat. Combine cheeses together then sprinkle over meat. Top with fried plantains.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 15 minutes uncovered. This can be frozen. Thaw completely before reheating.

What is in the seasoning mixture? Other than that lack of knowledge (on my part), this recipe looks good. I just got a large bunch of plantains and will try it.

I neglected to add sofrito (recipe can be located here on Cooks.com or, ready-made at your local supermarket) to the recipe (1 tbsp.). Enjoy!... other user suggestions for season mix will blend in nicely. Sazon con achiote a must. Mrs. Dash Seasoning Blend (season to taste) works well also.
