Elaine Viola's Baked Macaroni and Cheese




Source of Recipe


Buddy Cookbook


List of Ingredients




1 stick plus 1 tablespoon butter
1 onion, chopped
2 cups milk
1 pound American cheese or Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 pound elbow macaroni, cooked until just al dente, drained
1/4 cup plain bread crumbs


Recipe



Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.

Melt 1 stick of butter in a saucepan. Add the onion and saute until translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the milk and cook until heated through. Add the cheese gradually, stirring constantly, until it is melted and the sauce is smooth. Place the macaroni in the prepared baking dish. Pour the cheese mixture over the macaroni and stir to coat the macaroni evenly.

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bread crumbs and saute until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle the crumbs over the top of the macaroni and cheese. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top of the mixture is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling. Let the macaroni sit for 15 minutes before serving.
