Directions: |
Directions:Boil macaroni according to direction on package. Fry sausage (breaking it up into small chunks as it cooks) and set aside on towel paper to drain. Pour out nearly all of grease, reserving about 3 tablespoons worth in which to fry the onion. Fry onion, then push it aside and add a tablespoon of flour to the remaining sausage grease. Add milk and stir until smooth. The resulting fluid should be thin; make plenty of it because the macaroni swallow up the sauce fast as it bakes.
Put the macaroni, onion, and sausage mixture in a greased casserole or pan to bake brown. Bake for about 20 minutes in a 400 degree oven. For leftovers the next day add milk to what ever is left and heat the dish more slowly, at about 350 degrees. |

Notes: My mother, Edith Dorian, made up this dish during WW II when everything was rationed and meat was especially hard to come by. It was cheap and filling and it has a really good flavor from the combination of sausage, onion, and milk, so even after the war it remained a family favorite.
