The ingredients needed to make Baked Macaroni and Cheese:
Take ingredients
Prepare 4 cup uncooked elbow macaroni

Take 3/4 cup butter, divided
Take 6 tbsp all-purpose flour
Get 4 1/2 cup milk
Make ready 4 cup (16 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese. (You can substitute Velvetta if you'd like)

Prepare 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Prepare 1 tsp salt

Instructions to make Baked Macaroni and Cheese:
On stovetop, Cook macaroni according to package directions to al dente. ALSO, preheat oven to 350°F.
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)
Gradually add the milk, bring to a low boil. Stir constantly until thickened. About 5 minutes on a med/low.
Add dry mustard, salt, pepper and cheese, stir until cheese is melted, and sauce is smooth. Mix cooked macaroni in.
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.
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!
