From Debbie’s mom. Always double if you’re cooking for kids.
casserole, side, comfort food
4-6 Servings
- 1 1/2 C cooked macaroni
- 3 T butter
- 3 T flour
- 2 C milk
- 1/2 t salt
- 1 dash black pepper
- 1/4 C minced onion (optional)
- 2 C shredded sharp cheddar cheese
If using the onion, sauté it in the butter until the edges are just turning brown. Whisk in the flour and milk to make a béchamel white sauce. Mix in the cheese until melted, then stir in the macaroni. Dump it all into an 8-inch square baking pan. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 45 minutes.
