We made this for supper a few days ago. It was very good! The Tex-Mex cheese & spice recommendations are our own recommendations to add more flavour.
2 Tbsp butter
1 onion, chopped
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
3 cups shredded old Cheddar cheese (or Tex-Mex cheese)
(add Tex-Mex spice to taste - our recommendation)
2 tsp Dijon mustard
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 cups macaroni
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
In saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; fry onion, stirring, until softened, 3 minutes.
Add flour; cook, whisking, for 1 minute. Whisk in milk; cook, whisking, until thickened, about 8 minutes. Add Cheddar cheese, mustard, salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, in pot of boiling salted water, cook macaroni until tender but firm, 8 minutes. Drain.
Combine cooked macaroni and cheese sauce in 8" (2 litre) square glass baking dish.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs over top.
Bake in 350 F (180 C) oven until crusty, about 30 minutes.
Makes 4-6 servings.
