24 oz - Macaroni Noodles
1 medium onion
½ to 1 teaspoon of garlic – Depends on how you like it
½ teaspoon of pepper
½ teaspoon of salt
2 cups of whole milk
10 slices of American cheese
¼ cup of parmesean cheese
1/3 cup of cheddar cheese
- In a large pot, boil water and add macaroni noodles. Cook, drain and remove from heat.
- While cooking macaroni noodles, dice onion and add to 4-quart pot. Add garlic, pepper and salt and cook over medium heat until onion is caramelized. To help onion cook, add a tablespoon or two of water to the pot.
- Cut up cheese into small cubes to help it melt evenly.
- When onion is carmelized, add milk to pot. Heat up milk until steamy and then add cheeses to the pot. Stir constantly until cheese is melted. If the cheese/milk mixture starts to boil, turn down heat until the boiling stops and keep stiring. Never leave the cheese unattended or the cheese will stick to bottom of pan. When cheese mixture has thickened it is finished.
- Add cheese mixture to cooked macaroni noodles in large pot by ladling the cheese until the noodles have a nice consistency. You will likely have left over cheese sauce that you did not use.
- Let pot sit for 5 minutes, which will allow mac and cheese to thicken.
- Add any garnishes and serve mac and cheese!
