Cooking spray
1 2/3 cups elbow macaroni
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup nonfat dry milk
1 small onion, finely chopped,
optional
2 2/3 cups 2% milk
10 slices 2% american cheese, torn into strips
8 low-sodium butter-flavored crackers, crushed

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and coat 6 ramekins or a 2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
2
In a large pot of boiling water, cook the macaroni until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes.
3
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, cook the butter and flour over medium heat for 2 minutes, stirring. Add the dry milk and chopped onion, if using. Whisk in the milk gradually until mixture is smooth. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until it bubbles and thickens, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add the cheese. Stir constantly for 2 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
4
Drain macaroni and fold it into the cheese sauce. Spoon into the prepared ramekins or casserole dish.
5
Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Top with the crushed crackers and bake another 5 to 10 minutes, or until very hot and bubbly.
6
How kids can help: Measure macaroni; tear cheese into strips; count out crackers; crush crackers in a sealed plastic bag.
7
For grown-ups: Top the macaroni with diced fresh tomatoes, and serve with a green salad.
8
TIP: For adults (or more adventurous kids), substitute sharp cheddar or gruyere cheese
