Instructions to make Baked Macaroni and Cheese:
  1. On stovetop, Cook macaroni according to package directions to al dente. ALSO, preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Meanwhile, in sauce pan, saute onion in 1/2 cup butter. Once butter is melted, wisk in flour. Cook on low heat until a light golden brown, making a roux. (I omitted the onion completely this time, just to experiment)
  3. Gradually add the milk, bring to a low boil. Stir constantly until thickened. About 5 minutes on a med/low.
  4. Add dry mustard, salt, pepper and cheese, stir until cheese is melted, and sauce is smooth. Mix cooked macaroni in.
  5. In a greased 9x13 inch pan, pour the macaroni and cheese in. In separate bowl, mix bread crumbs with remaining 1/4 cup melted butter. Sprinkle evenly on top. Place uncovered in oven for 30-35 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  6. I finished it off by placing under broiler for a couple of minutes to lightly brown the panko bread crumbs. WATCH CAREFULLY! Or you'll have burned bread crumbs!
  7. Got from taste of home

I just love how that top layer of smoked cheese forms like a crust. The best southern-style baked macaroni and cheese.but without eggs, evaporated milk, and velveeta. cracks knuckles This may be the most requested recipe ever. I kinda get why…not too many people hate macaroni and cheese. To me Fannie Farmer's recipe is the only "real" Macaroni & Cheese. They're darn delicious, but not southern- and there is a difference!
