Macaroni and Cheese

Ingredients: 6 oz. elbow macaroni 1 1/2 cups; 3 T. butter or margarine; 1/4 cup onion finely chopped; 2 T. flour; 1/2 T. salt; Dash of pepper; 2 cups milk; 2 cups American cheese cubed

Made with love, way better than from a box—and just as easy! I always double the cheese sauce and freeze some for later. It’s great on broccoli and other cooked veggies—OR just another batch of mac ‘n cheese.

Ingredients

Directions

Cook the macaroni according to the package directions; drain well. For the cheese sauce, in a saucepan sauté the onion in the butter until tender but not brown. Stir in the flour, salt, and pepper. Add the milk all at once; cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 1-2 minutes more; add cubed cheese and stir until cheese is melted. Combine the cheese sauce and the macaroni and turn into a 1 ½ quart casserole dish. Bake uncovered at 350-degrees for 30-35 minutes or until heated through and a light crust forms on top. Makes 6 servings.

Great when you are cooking for a crowd. To add some complexity put in some cinnamon and gruyere cheese. Bake with breadcrumbs on top.
