Mom's homemade macaroni and cheese

One thing about my family - we make an amazing homemade macaroni and cheese. I've been eating this for as long as I can remember, and helping my mother make it since I was six-- I have the pictures to prove it! The cheese is made starting from a flour/butter/onion/seasoning salt paste, and I'll be the first to admit that when I first started making this on my own, there were at least three failed attempts. However, looking back I don't know how I could have screwed it up... it's so simple!


Mom's Macaroni and Cheese

Saute:
-2 T white onions
-2 T butter
Then add:
- 2 T flour (and brown all together)
Then add and whisk:
- 3 cups milk
Grate:
- 1 block of Cracker Barrel Sharp Cheddar Cheese and add to mixture, along with 1t onion salt, 1/2t seasoning salt

Boil 3 cups of noodles and pour into baking dish. Pour cheese sauce over noodles and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
