Macaroni and Cheese

Taken from recipezaar.com in our efforts to find a good macaroni and cheese to serve as a side dish on the day after Thanksgiving, to go with the ham we will be having. CC and I have tried 3 different recipes so far, and this one has gotten the top vote so far.
  • 1 lb. macaroni
  • 4 cups milk
  • 1 ½ lbs cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 lb. mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 4 tsp. flour
  • ½ cup butter
  • ½ medium onion, diced small
  • salt and pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F
Cook macaroni according to package directions; drain.
In a medium pot, heat butter and saute onions. Add milk, flour, salt and pepper. Bring to rolling boil. Slowly add cheddar cheese; stirring while adding. After cheddar cheese had dissolved, add the mozzarella cheese, stirring while adding.
Add macaroni directly to the cheese mixture in the pot. Pour into a large, greased lasagna pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until top is bubbly and golden brown.
