Homemade Macaroni and Cheese

>This is from my Mom! It's a classic and I usually always have the ingredients on hand and it's super simple. Oh, and my husband and children love it. At least, normally! The little ones weren't feeling good last night and wouldn't eat anything! But, hey, there are always leftovers for tonight!


3 cups of Macaroni

2 to 3 tablespoons dried onions

1 tsp. salt

¼ tsp. pepper

3 to 4 cups of cheddar cheese (You can use any cheese you prefer)

Thin White Sauce: ( Double or Triple for Mac and cheese)

1 Tablespoon Butter or Margarine

1 tablespoon Flour

1 cup Milk

Cook Macaroni as directed, preferably "Al Dente." Drain and set aside.

To make white sauce, melt butter in medium size pot. Add flour and mix together. Add milk and stir until starts to thicken. I usually triple the thin white sauce, but when I did that last night it turned out as too much. (Maybe it has something to do with Different altitudes from Utah to California.)

Spread half the macaroni on bottom of casserole dish. Sprinkle with half of each: salt, pepper, onions, and cheese.

Repeat the process using the rest of the ingredients.

Pour white sauce over the top and Bake for 30 mins at 375 degrees!
