Pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. James 5:16 Daddy found this recipe in a magazine. Isn't he cute in Michele's apron? The caramelized onions add such a nice flavor to this Mac and Cheese! Mac and Cheese...that reminds me of Mackenzie and Amy! (Their nicknames - because they were best friends and always together, like mac and cheese.)

How To Make skillet macaroni and cheese
-
1In a large cast iron pan (or ovenproof nonstick pan), heat 1 Tbsp butter, add sliced onion and sugar. Cook until onions are caramelized, about 5 minutes. Spread onions evely around bottom of pan, set aside.
-
2In another pan, boil pasta in water about 2 minutes less than package instructions. Drain pasta and put back into still warm pot. Stir in melted 1/4 cup butter to cover all noodles. Add milk, cream, mustard, pepper and 4 cups cheese, and stir well. Pour into cast iron skillet over sauteed onions.
-
3Bake in preheated oven at 350 degree F, uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed. Remove from oven, sprinkle with remaining cheese and then panko. Broil until top is lightly browned, about 1 minute.
-
4Note: I would suggest covering the pan for the first half of baking and then remove cover. Part of the pasta was crunchy, from baking uncovered.
