Creamy Baked Macaroni and Cheese

 Ingredients

  • 2 cups elbow macaroni noodles
  • 5 Tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 3 cups milk
  • 8 oz. Velveeta cheese, cut into small cubes
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese

Cook macaroni to al dente according to package directions. Drain and rinse. 

Grease a 9 x 13 glass baking dish. Preheat oven to 350 degreed F. 

In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add onions, paprika, salt and pepper and sauce for 5-7 minutes or until onion is tender. 

Add flour, stir until combined and cook for about 2-3 minutes. Add milk and heat until sauce begins to thicken, stirring often. 

Stir in the Velveeta, 1 cup cheddar and Swiss. Remove from heat once cheese is melted. Stir in the cooked macaroni until combined. 

Pour into the greased baking dish. 

Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheddar evenly over the top. Bake for 30 minutes until bubbly and browned. 

Enjoy!
