Fry onions, garlic and beef in olive oil. After 5 minutes add soy sauce, spices and mushrooms - cook another 5 minutes. Lower heat and add cherry tomatoes and bell pepper. Let simmer for 5 minutes. Mix egg and sour cream, add about 2 tablespoons of the grated cheese to the mixture. Take beef mixture off the heat. Mix the beef mixture and egg and cheese mixture with drained and washed macaroni, transfer to oven dish. Sprinkle leftover cheese on top. Bake for 30 minutes (I use a small convection oven, depending on the size, you may reduce this time) grill for another 5 to 10 minutes depending on crisp desired.
