Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the onion and cook gently for about 10 minutes or until the onion is translucent.
Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, until frothy. Then add the mustard.
Remove from the heat and add the hot milk gradually, stirring.
Return to the heat and cook, still stirring, until the sauce boils and thickens. Remove from the heat, season with salt and pepper and add half the grated cheese, and the macaroni.
Combine well and put into an ovenproof dish.
Mix the breadcrumbs into the remaining grated cheese and sprinkle over the top.
Cook for 20 minutes or until golden and heated through.
Variation
Add chopped, cooked bacon or ham to the sauce if you wish.

I am a big fan of mac and cheese and this recipe is amazing. My nanna recommended it to me and I made it for the first time and it turned out to be a big hit for my family. To make it a bit more saucy and cheesy, I add an extra 1/2 cup of milk and also 1/2 cup of tasty. I didn't use the breadcrumbs as didn't have any but just put the extra cheese on top and it worked!! I will be making this again sometime this week :).

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!
