Macaroni Cheese

Ingredients

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190˚C.
  2. Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the onion and cook gently for about 10 minutes or until the onion is translucent.
  3. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, until frothy. Then add the mustard.
  4. Remove from the heat and add the hot milk gradually, stirring.

  6. Combine well and put into an ovenproof dish.
  7. Mix the breadcrumbs into the remaining grated cheese and sprinkle over the top.
  8. Cook for 20 minutes or until golden and heated through.

Super easy recipe to follow. Easily serves 4 with leftovers after, both my kids ask for seconds :)

Do make sure you use tasty or some other sharp cheese - edam just doesn't have the same flavor and it comes out rather bland.
When I'm all out of tasty, I cook the pasta in stock rather than water just to give it some taste!

I note other people (list below) have also commented the problem that you don't say how many people this meal is for ?
