1. Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, cook until
translucent. Add salt, pepper, cinnamon, and meat. Cook, breaking up meat,
until lightly browned. Stir in 1/2 cup water. Remove from heat, cool
uncovered in refrigerator for 1/2 hour.
2. Add eggs to the meat mixture and mix well, set aside.
3. Preheat over to 350:F .

towels, place another couple of paper towels on top to soak up any extra
water. Line bottom and sides of a 13″x9″ baking pan with some of the
matzohs. Cover with the meat mixture. Top with remaining matzohs. Brush
