DIRECTIONS
This recipe reminds me of the mac and cheese we were served as kids attending St. Francis Xavier Grade School. I tried it once many years ago after finding this recipe in my 1976 version of Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook and have made it ever since. I do double the recipe and bake in a 3 quart Corningware casserole dish. Sometimes I don't put the onion in or use the dried onion pieces instead of freshly chopped onion. And I have never put the tomato on top. Try this recipe...it's worth the extra effort!
