Several people have asked for this, so here it is. My husband's yummy homemade mac-and-cheese recipe. This is the first thing he ever cooked for me after we'd been dating for a few months. Too bad only one of my three kids likes it (for now). | |
Ingredients
16 | Oz | Uncooked Macaroni | 1 | Sweet Onion -- Chopped | ||
Shells, Elbows, Or Whatever | 2 | Tbsp | Flour -- More Or Less | |||
1/2 | Lb | Velveeta | 1/4 | C | Milk -- More Or Less | |
4-6 | Oz | Cheddar Cheese Block -- More Or Less | bread crumbs - optional | |||
2 | Tbsp | Butter |
Instructions
- Cook pasta and set aside.
- Cut the Velveeta and cheddar cheese into cubes. Place the cheeses in a saucepan. Slowly melt the cheeses over med heat, stirring frequently. (Can also be done in the microwave - just heat in small time increments to avoid burning and stir often.)
- In a skillet, melt the butter. Add onion and saute until golden brown. Remove from heat. Add flourand milk to onions and stir to make a goopy mess.
- Combine pasta, melted cheese, and onion mixture in a large bowl or pot. Stir well. Add more milk as needed to attain desired consistency.
- If desired, put macaroni and cheese in a greased, oven safe casserole and top with bread crumbs. Bake at 350 for 15-20 mins, or until a golden crust forms.

I now leave out the velvetta and use a combination of mild cheddar, colby jack, and fontina to get the melty-creaminess.
Also usually add chopped ham and/or cooked bacon
