Recipe for mac & cheese is as follows:

Homemade Mac & Cheese

In a large stock pot add water and your favorite type of pasta. We prefer any Dreamfields Pasta as it is lox card and works well in my husband's diet since he is diabetic. Cook pasta until al dente and set aside.

In a large saucepan melt 1 stick of butter on medium heat, and saute 1/2 sweet diced onion until tender. Add enough flour about 2 T. stir until mixed well and add enough milk to make runny, about 5 cups. Add the following cheeses or whatever combination you like, I use 5 slices american cheese, 2 c. shredded cheddar, 4 slices swiss, 1/2 c. parmesan, and 2 T. Stone ground mustard mix until melted, if you need to thin a little add more milk. Prepare a greased  9x13 inch pan and combine pasta and cheese sauce, pour into prepared pan top with 1/2 c. Seasoned Breadcrumbs and 1/4 c. Parmesan Cheese. Bake in a 350 degree oven until golden brown about 40 minutes.

Some Variations:

Add 2 c. Cooked crumbled bacon
Add 2 c. Cooked mixed vegetables
Add 2 c. Cooked chopped broccoli
Add 1 Can, drained Tuna
Add 2 c. Cooked diced Chicken and 1 small can jalapenos

Your combinations are endless...
