Comforting Caramelized Onion Mac n’ Cheese

Hey there, foodies! Today, I am excited to share a delicious and cozy recipe for Caramelized Onion Mac n’ Cheese. This creamy and cheesy dish is the ultimate comfort food, perfect for chilly evenings or whenever you need a little pick-me-up.

Ingredients:

  • 200g macaroni
  • 1 large onion
  • 50g butter
  • 30g flour
  • 500ml milk
  • 150g cheddar cheese
  • 50g parmesan cheese
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

  • saucepan
  • skillet
  • wooden spoon
  • grater

To start, cook the macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente. Meanwhile, slice the onion thinly and caramelize it in a skillet with a bit of butter over low heat until golden and sweet.

In a saucepan, melt the remaining butter over medium heat. Add flour and cook for a minute to make a roux. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly until smooth and thickened. Grate in the cheddar and parmesan cheeses, stirring until melted and creamy. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper.

Combine the cooked macaroni, caramelized onions, and cheese sauce in a baking dish. Mix well to coat everything evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.

Once ready, serve this indulgent Caramelized Onion Mac n’ Cheese piping hot. The combination of sweet caramelized onions with creamy cheese sauce and tender pasta will surely warm your soul.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 1000g, with 4 servings at around 250g each. One serving of this comforting dish is approximately 500 calories.

A clever tip for an extra flavor punch is to sprinkle some crispy breadcrumbs on top before baking. It adds a nice crunch and texture to every bite.

I hope you give this Caramelized Onion Mac n’ Cheese a try and enjoy a cozy evening indulging in its creamy goodness. Don’t be afraid to customize it with your favorite cheeses or add-ins to make it your own! Happy cooking!
