You can't go wrong with macaroni & cheese - it goes with just about everything. This recipe is a step above the normal mac & cheese. Real butter, cream, cheddar cheese and onion - oh, it is sooo good. I know you'll love it as much as we do at our house.

8 oz. elbow macaroni
4 T. butter
3/4 C. bread crumbs
1 onion, minced
1 T. flour
1 t. salt
