Ingredients

1lb elbow macaroni or similar pasta(shells and rotini work well)

1 small or 1/2 large onion, very finely diced

1 stick butter

1 1/2 cups milk

1/2 cup flour

1 1/2t dry mustard

4-6oz cream cheese, softened, or even warmed in microwave(you want NO chill on this at all)

3-4 cups of various cheeses, shredded*(there is no right or wrong, here, it's all to taste...personally, I like to use a majority sharp cheddar cus I like the sharpness it brings to the finished dish, but other than that, be creative!)

salt and pepper

dash of hot sauce

Directions

Boil pasta per package directions.

Saute onion in butter in medium/large sauce pan until tender.

Add flour to make a thin roux. This won't get bubbly and as thick as normal roux, just cook about 5 minutes to thicken a bit

Add cream cheese and break up and stir in until melted, or mostly melted.(a few lil cream cheese lumps are okay...just keep 'em very small)

Add milk, salt and pepper, mustard and hot sauce and stir to combine and warm through, but don't boil.

Add shredded cheeses and continue to cook on medium/low heat until melted and creamy.

Combine with drained pasta. **Serve hot, or, you can undercook the pasta SLIGHTLY and increase the milk by 1/2 cup and put this in your slow cooker for pot lucks, family gatherings, etc.

~~the cheeses I used in the photo representation were: Sharp Cheddar, Colby, Pepper Jack and just a bit of Meunster.

Sounds so very good to me too! I love sharp cheddar and usually use hot sauce in my own recipe. But gonna try this one real soon! ^5

Keni, thanks for this recipe. I loved the flavor, but I took the "easy way out" and used pre-packaged, shredded cheese... I think the anti-caking agents they use must have contributed to a more grainy, almost gummy finished texture to the finished product. I will definitely use this again and take the time to grate my own cheese!

Hey Kim...there is no doubt that preshredded will greatly change this recipe :( I nearly never use them, the difference in taste and texture is just worth the lil time it takes to shred your own. I'm sorry the texture didn't work for you, but, I promise, as written, there should be NO sign of grainy, at all.

Hey Keni, I tried the recipe tonight too, and had a similar consistency as Kim, and that was even before I added the pre-packaged cheese. I followed the recipe, but only used 1/2 of everything, with 2 oz cream cheese and 2 cups shredded cheese, adding a bit more milk to try to get that creamy texture. I was thinking it has to do with the fact I used a non-stick pan. Dunno. I think I will have to try it in a different pan next time.

This was VERY GOOD!! I'm trying to ween (sp.?) my family off box mac. so this was great! I did have to add a little more milk b/c for some reason mine was pretty thick...but other than that...perfect!
