Homemade Mac and Cheese

I made this to make up for not making lunch for the family today, and it was yummy, but do not, I repeat, do not try to double it and bake it in the 3 qt. pan, you will have a mess!

Ingredients:

  • 6 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon Worcestershire
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1 small onion, grated
  • 3/4 pound shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (3 cups)
  • 8 ounces elbow macaroni, cooked and drained
  • 3/4 cup soft bread crumbs

    Preparation:

    In saucepan over medium low heat melt 4 tablespoons butter; blend in flour and seasonings, stirring until smooth and bubbly. Gradually stir in milk; cook and stir until thick and smooth. Stir in grated onion and cheese. Place cooked drained macaroni in a buttered 3-quart casserole. Pour sauce over macaroni and gently mix to blend. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and toss with the bread crumbs. Sprinkle bread crumbs over the macaroni. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
    Macaroni and cheese recipe serves 4 to 6.

Carrie I want to look at your blog, but I think I have to be invited in. I've never been invited into a blog, but if you wouldn't mind I'd love to look at yours.
