Easiest & Cheesiest Macaroni and Cheese image

This is my personal recipe. I love Stouffer's mac and cheese and I decided to take a chance at making my own. This is pretty close and in a house of picky eaters, the first time I made it--it was gone in minutes. I have a rather large family, so you can halve the recipe to make for a smaller family. Also the larger recipe is good if you want to serve as a meal.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb macaroni (I use either elbows or springs)
4 cups milk
1 1/2 lbs shredded cheddar cheese (I prefer to shred myself)
1 lb mozzarella cheese
4 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup butter
1/2 medium onion, diced small
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • This step will take approximately 20 minutes, so preheat oven to 350° while working on this step.
  • Put macaroni to boil.
  • In a medium pot heat butter and sauté onions.
  • Add milk, flour, salt and pepper; bring to a rolling boil.
  • Slowly add cheddar cheese, stirring while adding.
