1
You need a bechamel of about 6 cups milk. Double the recipe below.
2
Cook macaroni to al dente in salted water at a vigorous boil.
3
Cut up your onion in a small dice.
4
Cook the onion down in olive oil over medium low heat.
5
When the onion is tender, pour in your bechamel.
6
Grate the cheese. Remove the bechamel from heat and fold the cheese into the sauce.
7
When the sauce has cooled a bit, whip up an egg and fold it in. If the sauce is too hot, the egg will cook.

Dump the cooked and strained macaroni into the sauce.
9
Season with salt and pepper.
10
Rub some butter into your baking dish.
11
Spread the cheesey mac in the baking dish. Add a sprinkle of breadcrumbs if you like. I'm not a huge fan of this step. Bake at 375F for about 45 minutes. Go to town! This stuff is delicious!
