Baked Macaroni and Cheese

This is only one my family wants, a deliciously creamy cheese sauce with an old-fashioned bread cube topping. I triple the bread crumb topping as there never seems to be enough of that!

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 8  ounces elbow macaroni
• 1  small onion, chopped
• 2  tablespoons butter
• 1  tablespoon flour
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground mustard
• 3⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
• 2  cups  whole milk
• 1⁄2 lb cheddar cheese, grated (reserve 1/3 cup for topping)
• 3⁄4 cup  fresh breadcrumb
• 4  teaspoons butter, melted

Directions

1. Under cook elbows; oven baking will finish the cooking process.
2. In double boiler melt butter and add flour, mustard, salt and pepper.
3. Slowly stir in milk and cook until smooth and creamy. Add grated cheese and stir until cheese has melted and sauce is smooth.
4. Turn macaroni and finely chopped onion into casserole and pour cheese sauce over all. Toss well to coat. Top with rest of cheese.
5. Toss bread with melted butter and sprinkle over all.
6. Bake uncovered for 20 min @ 400°.
