Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 cups milk

¾ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon dry mustard

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 (8 ounce) package elbow macaroni

2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Sauté onion for 2 minutes. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Then stir in milk, salt, mustard, and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until mixture boils and thickens.

Meanwhile, bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add macaroni and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes; drain.

Add Cheddar and American cheeses to milk mixture; stir until cheese melts.

Combine cheese sauce and macaroni in a 2-quart baking dish; mix well.

Bake in preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
