Blender Macaroni and Cheese Sauce

Submitted by TishT

"I just got a Blendtec and I'm truly impressed with it's capabilities. (I think this would work well in a Vitamix too?) This recipe lets you blend the ingredients and pour onto cooked macaroni and then into the oven to bake. No more chopping onions or melting cheese on the stove top!! You can even heat the milk in the microwave instead of the stove top if you want"
