Macaroni and Cheese

With thanks to my good friend Scott Williams in the USA.

  • 2 cups elbow macaroni, cooked and drained
  • 3 Tbsp. butter or margarine
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion (optional)
  • 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/8 tsp. pepper
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 cups (8 oz.) Shredded Mild Cheddar Cheese
  1. Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion, if desired, in butter 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in flour, salt and pepper. Gradually add milk and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
  2. Remove from heat. Add 1-1/2 cups cheese and stir until cheese is melted. Combine cheese sauce with cooked macaroni. Pour into 1-1/2-quart casserole; top with remaining cheese. Bake in preheated 350°F oven 30 minutes or until bubbly and cheese is lightly browned.
