Ingredients
2 T Butter1 small-medium onion, diced71/2 cups water4 cubes beef bullion3 cups elbow macaroni1 cup half and half3 T cream cheese1.5 cups Cheddar Cheese1.5 T Brown Mustard (or dijon, or some sort)Salt and Pepper to taste
Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add in the diced onion and cook until the onion is close to translucent, about 10 minutes. Add in the pasta and stir around a little bit. Add in the water and the bullion cubes (or 7 1/2 cups of the broth of your choice). Bring to a boil, lower the heat to the lower end of medium, and allow to lightly boil (a little more than simmer) uncovered for 20 minutes. Once the liquid is absorbed so that only about 1/4th of it remains, add in the whole milk, and allow to simmer for another 6 minutes or so, until the sauce begins to thicken. Then, add in everything else, stir until it's all melted and delicious, and allow it to sit for about 3-5 minutes before serving.
