This is my sister’s Mac and Cheese and it is SUPERB but she does things a little differently from other Macaroni and Cheese recipes -  along with having 2 unusual ingredients, onion and tomatoes she also cooks the macaroni right in the milk which is the really unusual thing about her recipe. There is a whole step that is skipped – boiling the macaroni in water -  so her recipe is really quick and easy to make. I hope you like it. She gets rave reviews for this.



The Recipe:

Melt 1/4 cup butter in saucepan and saute 1 onion (chopped) until transparent.



Stir in 1/8 cup flour and 1 tsp. salt and stir for 1 minute. Add 3 cups of milk. Simmer.



Add 8 oz of uncooked macaroni.



Simmer for 8 minutes. It will thicken as it cooks.

Slice  1  1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese thinly.



Remove macaroni mixture from heat. Add cheese. Stir until cheese is melted.





Add drained, medium sized can of diced tomatoes (not the small can).





Stir:



Turn into a casserole dish if desired and you could also top with either cubes of bread and/or more cheese and bake a few minutes until cheese is melted and bread is crunchy.
