Ingredients

    Macaroni, whole-wheat, 240 grams
    Butter, salted, 2 tbsp
    Onion 1/4 Cup
    All-Purpose White Flour 1tbsp
    Dry Mustard, 1/4 tsp
    Milk, nonfat, 1.5C
    Cheddar Cheese, 2 cup, shredded

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F.
Grease 2qt casserole.
Cook macaroni as per package directions.
While it is cooking, melt butter in saucepan. Add onion and saute until softened. Stir in flour, salt and pepper (if desired) and dry mustard. Continue stirring and add milk stirring constantly. (I use a whisk to decrease lumps).
Once thickened, and it will be quite thick, add half the cheddar cheese to the sauce. Remove from heat and mix well. Pour over prepared macaroni and mix well.
Pour prepared macaroni and cheese into casserole dish and cover with remaining cheddar cheese.
Bake until hot and bubbly, about 20 minutes.

Some people put cracker crumbs or breadcrumbs on top, but this adds alot of calories!
