Macaroni And Cheese: Secret Ingredient Revealed

My Macaroni And Cheese recipe has a secret ingredient. I am going to reveal it today, so, it's not a secret anymore. Many years ago I found this recipe on the side of a pasta box. I made it for my family (at that time), which was my brothers and sisters. Everyone liked this version of Macaroni And Cheese. I don't recall any complaints.

The recipe had an unexpected ingredient. It actually had two particular ingredients, that are really heavy hitters, when it comes to flavor. 

Okay, enough beating around the bush! The special ingredients are dehydrated minced onion and ground mustard. Whenever I make this Macaroni And Cheese recipe I get complements. You can too! Here is my recipe:

Macaroni And Cheese Recipe

2 lbs. Elbow Noodles, Cooked

1/2 cup Butter

1/2 cup Flour

4 cups Milk

2 TBS. Dehydrated Minced Onions

1 tsp. Ground Mustard

1/4 tsp. Black Pepper

1/2 tsp. Salt

1 lb. Processed Cheese (Velveeta, American, etc.)

While the pasta is cooking;

Melt butter in 6 quart dutch oven pot. Sprinkle the flour into the hot butter. Cook the flour, while string, for a few minutes, until the color gets nutty brown.

Slowly add the milk, while stirring.

Add the spices and seasonings. Bring the mixture up to a simmer.

Add the cheese and stir until melted.

Remove from heat.

Add the cooked, drained elbow noodles. Stir to coat.

Enjoy!
