| The co-op was out of onions so I made do with a shallot. It was pleasant! |
Stir cheese sauce into cooked pasta.
 |
| This actually seems pretty good if you wanted to just eat it like this. |
Spoon into greased 2 quart baking dish.
Top with bread crumbs. Bake 30 minutes.
 |
| But not! We must make it crispy on top! Apparently! |
 |
| Served - a nice little meal by itself. |
My Rating: 3/5 "Another pretty bland baked mac 'n' cheese recipe. I thought the onion was going to be weird in this one, but it actually added some dimension to the overall flavor. That said, though, it was a little dry and otherwise unremarkable. Come for the comfort food, stay because it's not that bad even though it's not that great."
