I also add a small West Indian onion, grated, New Zealand anchor cheese which is not too oily and 1 1/2 tsp of mustard powder. If your cheese is mild, the mustard powder kicks it up several notches.

This was super easy to make and delicious too! This is a nice change from the traditional mac n cheese. We liked this with some fresh black cracked pepper. Thanks for posting this recipe, Oolala!
