8 ounces dry macaroni
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon salt
dash of pepper
2 cups Milk
1 tablespoon minced onion
1 cup or 1/4 pound American Processed cheese
Cook pasta according to instructions, drain and set aside. To make cheese sauce, melt
butter in a saucepan add onion flour. Allow this to thicken, and when thickened slowly
add the milk. When all milk is added, you may add the cheese. For this Velveeta, is
really the best, but you can use another brand. Add salt, pepper, and dry mustard.
When sauce has thickened, add pasta. Lightly butter a casserole dish, and add pasta
mixture to casserole dish. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
pickman, a variation on this recipe to make it a bit more nutritious would be to add 1 large can of unsalted diced tomatoes, 3 - 4 processed cheese slices and 4 - 5 strips of crisp bacon on top of this in a casserole dish.
For those who are gluten intolerant, I would use gluten free pasta and omit the flour - unless you use rice flour instead of regular flour.
For those who are lactose intolerant, one can use lactose free milk instead of regular milk and omit the regular cheese. Goat cheese works better than the processed cheese for such people.
Just an modification to your recipe for such members on the site. Great recipe!

Thank you so much for your gf info! As a mandatory gf gal I truly appreciate such accommodations.just want to add that velveeta and most other processed american cheese also have wheat(gluten).
