Baked Mac and Cheese II

By Addie

"Even people who have had their own macaroni and cheese recipe for years ask for mine when they taste this crumb-topped version," writes Schelby Thompson of Dover, Delaware. Tip: "Make it with extra-sharp white cheddar cheese for more flavor," Schelby recommends.

Ingredients

• 4 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
• 3/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 3/4 cup butter, divided
• 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 1/2 cups milk
• 4 cups (16 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon ground mustard
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 3/4 cup dry bread crumbs

Preparation

Step 1

Cook macaroni according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, saute the onion in 1/2 cup butter. Add the flour; whisk until blended. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened. Stir in the cheese, mustard, salt and pepper until smooth.

Drain macaroni and add to sauce; stir until coated. Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Melt the remaining butter; toss with bread crumbs. Sprinkle over macaroni mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 6-8 servings.

This recipe sounds good and very close to my own recipe but I use dejion mustard for example
