Directions: |
Directions:Bring a large kettle of salted water to a boil for the macaroni. Cook according to directions on box.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Saute onions and garlic for 1-2 minutes until translucent. Add flour and whisk for at least 2 minutes to make a roux. When it starts to turn golden brown, add the milk and cream, pepper, ground mustard, sherry, salt to taste, and tabasco if desired. Whisk until it comes to a simmer and thickens. Add cheeses and stir until completely melted. Keep warm and stir occasionally until macaroni is done.
Drain macaroni and rinse once with cold water. Drain well. Put back in the kettle and pour cheese sauce over. Stir to coat. Add bacon bits if desired.
Pour mixture into a cake pan that has been greased with butter. Top w/ breadcrumbs and put in the oven at 350º for about 15 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly. |
