This is a macaroni and cheese I first made 3 years ago when I was in California. When I got back to Texas I made it for my mom. This is now her favorite baked macaroni and cheese. She begs me to make it when I come to visit. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter |
1/4 cup finely chopped onion |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
2 cups milk |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard |
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1 (8 ounce) package elbow macaroni |
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese |
1 (8 ounce) package processed american cheese, cut into strips |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion for 2 minutes. Stir in flour and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in milk, salt, mustard and pepper; cook, stirring frequently, until mixture boils and thickens.
3. Meanwhile, bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add macaroni and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
4. To the milk mixture add the Cheddar and American cheeses; stir until cheese melts. Combine macaroni and cheese sauce in a 2 quart baking dish; mix well.
5. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
