Ingredients:

French Onions

Mac & Cheese

Tools:

Directions:

How to:

  • In a fry pan (skillet) over low heat, add the onions and 1/4 cup of water. Cook until the water has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add in 2 tablespoons butter, garlic, salt and thyme. Cook for about 15 minutes, until the onions are caramelized.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for 1 minute less than the package instructs.
  • Turn up the heat on the onions to medium high. Add sherry or wine to the pan and cook for about 1 minute. Add the beef stock and Worcestershire sauce.
  • Add in the remaining butter. As it melts, add in the flour and whisk until combined. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  • Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened.
  • Add in the cheddar and mozzarella. Stir until they are melted and the sauce is smooth.
  • Add the pasta directly from the pot, along with a little pasta water, if necessary to smooth out the sauce. Taste and season with salt to suit your preference.
  • Top with crispy onions.
