This “homemade” recipe came from one of my mom’s Irish cousins years ago. Besides my own mom, Mae Garvey was one of the best cooks I have ever met—everything she did seemed so effortless and was always delicious. A treasured legacy!
Ingredients
1 lb elbow macaroni
1 lb sharp cheese, grated
½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
½ cup butter
Salt to taste
½ teaspoon ground dry mustard
½ cup flour
3 cups milk
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup onions, chopped (or 1 teaspoon onion
powder)
Directions
Cook macaroni per package directions, drain and pour into bowl. Add cheeses and mix. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter, stir in flour until smooth. Add milk and seasonings and stir until very thick. Add sauce to macaroni mixture and mix well. Spoon into a large greased casserole. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes.
Enjoy!
