Cold winter evenings are much more tolerable with this comforting casserole. Whole wheat macaroni boosts nutrition, while the melted cheese topping makes it rich and so satisfying. We like it best with a veggie side. —Jason Egner, Edgerton, Wisconsin
Ingredients:
2 cups uncooked whole wheat elbow macaroni
3 tablespoons chopped onion
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups fat-free milk
