I am doing something I don't normally do - giving stars to a recipe that I royally messed up. However .... the add-ins tasted good. It was just my mac & cheese mix that was the pits. (A Keto brand low carb box that I had kickin' around the pantry.) This is a good way to dress up a REAL box of mac & cheese. I recommend including the garlic.

I have gone something like this before, although, not with the onions. I will normally add ground beef and chili powder, or ground beef, garlic powder, oregano, and canned diced tomatoes. A little Tex-Mex, a little Italian :) I like your idea of adding the onion flavor to the mac n' cheese. It sounds like it will just add something extra. Thanks!
