Instructions to make Baked Macaroni and Cheese:
- On stovetop, Cook macaroni according to package directions to al dente. ALSO, preheat oven to 350°F.
- Meanwhile, in sauce pan, saute onion in 1/2 cup butter. Once butter is melted, wisk in flour. Cook on low heat until a light golden brown, making a roux. (I omitted the onion completely this time, just to experiment)
- Gradually add the milk, bring to a low boil. Stir constantly until thickened. About 5 minutes on a med/low.
- Add dry mustard, salt, pepper and cheese, stir until cheese is melted, and sauce is smooth. Mix cooked macaroni in.
- In a greased 9x13 inch pan, pour the macaroni and cheese in. In separate bowl, mix bread crumbs with remaining 1/4 cup melted butter. Sprinkle evenly on top. Place uncovered in oven for 30-35 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
- I finished it off by placing under broiler for a couple of minutes to lightly brown the panko bread crumbs. WATCH CAREFULLY! Or you'll have burned bread crumbs!
