SIMPLE MACARONI AND CHEESE
A very quick and easy fix to a tasty side-dish. Fancy, designer mac and cheese often costs forty or fifty dollars to prepare when you have so many exotic and expensive cheeses, but they aren't always the best tasting. This recipe is cheap and tasty.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Prepare the elbow macaroni according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium high heat. Stir in the flour until a cream colored paste forms. Then pour in the milk and stir constantly until this comes to a hard boil, then stir for 1 more minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
- When the macaroni is cooked, spread 1/2 of it into the bottom of a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Then layer 1/2 of the grated onion, 1/2 of the salt and pepper and 1/2 of each of the cheeses. Repeat this one more time: macaroni, onion, salt and pepper and cheeses, and then pour the reserved white sauce over all. Top off with small pats of butter to taste.
- Cover and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes.

Steps:
- Cook macaroni according to package directions.
- Drain.
- Immediately place cooked macaroni into large bowl.
- While still hot, stir in the butter, the cubed cheddar, and the handful of grated cheddar.
- Mix well for one minute.
- Add the eggs and the can of cheddar soup.
- Mix through.
- Season liberally with Lawry's salt and pepper.
- Mix through.
- At this point, I like to give it a taste (I know, I know, raw eggs, but I live dangerously), to test for seasoning.
- Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Add the milk and mix again.
- Place mixture into a mid-size casserole.
- I use an 11x8x3 or so.
- Don't use a dish too deep or browning will be a pain.
- Spread evenly.
- Bake at 375 for 35-45 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly.
- Let sit for 10-15 minutes before serving.
- This is a very old family recipe from a woman I work with.
- I am kind of a mac&cheese junkie and have tried many over the years.
- This one is tops, bar none.
- Enjoy!
- PS If you have trouble finding Lawry's seasoned pepper, you can substitute McCormick's, not as good, but will do.
