Nini's Pastitzio

3 c. brown rice macaroni (I prefer the Tinkyada brand)
1/4 c. butter
4 T. sweet rice flour
2 c. milk
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 lb. Romano cheese
1/4 lb. cheddar cheese
1 lb. ground beef
1 med. onion, chopped
2 T. tomato sauce
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
salt and pepper, to taste

Cook macaroni and drain. Make the sauce by cooking the butter and sweet rice flour till bubbly, add milk until smooth, then add eggs and cheeses. Stir until melted. Brown ground beef and drain. Add onion tomato paste and spices.
Layer in deep 9x13 pan (or a little larger pan) in this order: 1/2 the macaroni- meat sauce- rest of macaroni- cheese sauce. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
