Bonnie's Notes:
My version of Macaroni and Cheese is adapted from a very old recipe. This is comfort food at its best and has a great cheesy flavor with a hint of onion and a nice buttered crumb topping. Enjoy!

Directions

1
Cook the pasta according to package directions. I recommend small shell pasta because cheese gets inside the shells and tastes good. When the pasta is just tender, drain. Don't overcook.
2
Melt butter in the pan. Add the onion and saute until tender. Reserve a couple teaspoons of the butter from the pan for the crumb topping. Add the milk to the butter, then add cornstarch, nutmeg, salt and pepper and whisk until smooth. Add the cheese soup. Whisk again. Remove from heat.
3
Pour the hot cooked and drained pasta shells into a greased glass baking dish and add the grated sharp cheddar cheese. Stir.
4
Then pour the hot pan mixture over the shells and gently mix until combined.
5
Make the topping:
Put the bread crumbs in a small bowl and add the reserved 2 teaspoons of butter and mix well. Sprinkle over the macaroni and cheese and bake in a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes or until the topping is brown.

I love mac and cheese and have been looking through the many recipes for just the right one. This could be it! BTW, I bought the "tenders" and am just waiting for an invite to my son's to cook the lemony chicken. If I don't get that "invite" soon, I'm cooking it for myself - lol. Thanks for all the great recipes.

Thanks, Karla!
Yes, Kathleen, let me know how you like Lemony Chicken. I love it, and pick that when it is my turn to pick a meal.

Bonnie! I was just thinking about Mac & Cheese Mom's birthday was on Valentine's and it was one of her favorite comfort foods. And I would make it using her recipe which was nothing more cooking a pound of elbow macaroni in boiling salted water until it was about two minutes from being fully cooked, and combining it with a whole loaf of melted Velveeta, and topping with some corn flakes that had been tossed in melted butter, throw in a 350 oven for half an hour. I served with my pressure fried chicken and a tomato, and green onion salad, then her favorite Devil's Food cake with milk chocolate buttercream frosting and if I ate this meal today there isn't enough insulin on earth to breakdown all those carbs!!

We live and learn, don't we, Paul? This one isn't too bad because you can control how much cheese you put in it, or skip the cheese, but it is still comfort food no matter how you slice it! :D I wish I had an addiction to plain lettuce.
