Baked Mac & Cheese

From Julie O'Meara
This is a great base recipe. We fancy it up with a variety of cheeses, top it with bread crumbs too, or make it a Tex-mex macaroni with a can of diced tomatoes and chilies and ground beef. Freezes well. Easy to double or triple.

• 2 tsp butter
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1 can cheddar cheese soup
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 cups cooked macaroni (about 2 cups dry)

Melt cutter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook 2 minutes until tender.
Whisk in soup, milk, and half of cheese. Stir until cheese melts. Stir in cooked pasta and pour into a 9 inch square dish. Top with remaining cheese and bake at 375 degrees for 30-45 minutes.
