1 tablespoon powdered mustard
3 cups milk
1/2 cup yellow onion, finely diced
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 large egg
12 ounces sharp cheddar, shredded
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Fresh black pepper
Topping:
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large pot of boiling, salted water cook the pasta to al dente.
While the pasta is cooking, in a separate pot, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and mustard and keep it moving for about five minutes. Make sure it's free of lumps. Stir in the milk, onion, bay leaf, and paprika. Simmer for ten minutes and remove the bay leaf.
Temper in the egg. Stir in 3/4 of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Fold the macaroni into the mix and pour into a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese.
Melt the butter in a saute pan and toss the bread crumbs to coat. Top the macaroni with the bread crumbs. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and rest for five minutes before serving.

I will definitely try this!!

Hey Paula! Yes, he loves pizza...thank is strange that he doesn't mind "melted" cheese on pizza. I will have to ask him about that. If he sees it in a bean burrito he won't touch it.

Please share the recipe...I LOVE cooking with my 5 crock pots!

Duckie · 09-18-2007, 05:45 PM

It pains me to write this, because as I think about it, I want it...but the best, bar none, mac and cheese in the world is the frozen Stouffer's stuff. Unbelievably cheesy and comforting to the tummy and the soul...
