Recipe

In a skillet, cook beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in tomato sauce, water and seasonings. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine macaroni, egg and Parmesan cheese; set aside. In a large saucepan, melt butter; stir in flour and cinnamon until smooth. Gradually add milk.

Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove form the heat; cool slightly. Stir a small amount of hot mixture into eggs; return all to pan. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir cheese. In a greased 3 qt. baking dish, spread half of the macaroni mixture. Pour sauce over the top. Bake, uncovered, at 350ºF for 45-50 minutes or until bubbly and heated through. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
