Directions: |
Directions:Simmer the ground beef, butter, cinnamon, salt and pepper and tomato sauce.
Cook 1 lb. (or a little more) of #6 size macaroni (break into smaller sized pieces before cooking). (Some people use the elbow macaroni becuase #6 is so hard to find!) Do not allow to overcook. Set aside.
Combine and simmer the romano cheese and milk. Add the eggs and blend in (stirring constantly). Mix the cornstarch with a little milk and add. Continue stirring constantly for about 20 minutes (until the sauce thickens).
Put some macaroni in the bottom of a large rectangular pan (9x13 is too small!!). Add some of the meat mixture, more macaroni and more meat mixture.
Strain the sauce over the macaroni. Add 3 or 4 pats of butter here or there on top of the macaroni.
Cook at 400º for 10-12 minutes on the bottom rack of oven. Then set temperature at 425º and move pan to top rack until the sauce is browned (probably about 10 more minutes). |
