List of Ingredients




3 cups elbow macaroni, uncooked
1/3 cup butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
12 ounces water
1 teaspoon kosher or coarse salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
4 cups shredded cheddar cheese


Recipe



Grease a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish; set aside.

Cook macaroni according to package directions; drain and set aside.

Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat; add onion and cook until onion is translucent and softened. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the evaporated milk, water, salt and pepper, heat to boiling and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat.

Add cooked macaroni and Parmesan cheese to sauce, mixing well. Spoon half of macaroni mixture evenly into prepared baking dish and sprinkle with 2 cups cheddar cheese. Spoon on remaining macaroni mixture evenly and sprinkle with remaining 2 cups cheddar cheese.

Bake at 350*F (175*C) for 30 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly browned. Allow to set for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Makes 12 servings.

Variation: Add 2 cups of your choice cooked meat to the sauce and proceed as directed. A good way to use up leftover ham or turkey.

Tip: 3 cups milk can be substituted for the evaporated milk and water.
