1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound ground beef
2 slices white bread, crumbled
2 cups milk
2 large eggs, room temperature

Directions:
In a large heavy skillet, cook onion in butter over medium heat until light brown. Add curry powder, 1 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and cayenne pepper. Sauté 2 to 3 minutes.

Add beef. Sauté until brown. Remove from heat. Drain fat.

Soak crumbled bread in 1 1/2 cups of the milk. Stir into beef mixture. Pour mixture into buttered 8 inch square pan or one of comparable size.

In a small bowl, beat eggs, remaining 1/2 cup milk and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add raisins, if used. Pour over beef mixture.
