Mom's Macaroni and Cheese
- 2 cups macaroni, dry
- 2 cups milk
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can tomato soup
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon onion salt (the cheese is usually salty enough for most people) (optional)
- black pepper
- 15 soda crackers
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
- 12 cup crushed potato chips
- 12 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Cook macaroni according to package directions, only until al dente (tender yet firm, as they will be cooked again later) and set aside.
- In large pot, melt butter and add flour to form roux.
- Whisk in milk and onion, over medium heat until somewhat thickened (not too thick or you will need a knife to cut out chunks of mac & cheese!
- ).
- Remove from heat and add tomato soup, cheese and spices.
- It should be runny and pourable, about like ranch salad dressing for lack of a better example :) If too thick add milk and seasonings to taste.
- Pour into a greased casserole dish.
- In a ziplock bag, combine crub top ingredients of your choice, and crush with hands, mixing butter in until uniform.
- I think crackers are the best tasting!
- Sprinkle over mac and cheese.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, til top is crunchy and pasta is bubbly.
- ENJOY!
