Servings: persons

2 cups macaroni, dry
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon flour
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can tomato soup
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1 teaspoon onion salt (the cheese is usually salty enough for most people) (optional)
black pepper
15 soda crackers
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
½ cup crushed potato chips
½ cup breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon butter

1
Cook macaroni according to package directions, only until al dente (tender yet firm, as they will be cooked again later) and set aside.
2
In large pot, melt butter and add flour to form roux.
3
Whisk in milk and onion, over medium heat until somewhat thickened (not too thick or you will need a knife to cut out chunks of mac & cheese!
4
).
5
Remove from heat and add tomato soup, cheese and spices.
6
It should be runny and pourable, about like ranch salad dressing for lack of a better example :) If too thick add milk and seasonings to taste.
7
Pour into a greased casserole dish.
8
In a ziplock bag, combine crub top ingredients of your choice, and crush with hands, mixing butter in until uniform.
9
I think crackers are the best tasting!
10
Sprinkle over mac and cheese.
11
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, til top is crunchy and pasta is bubbly.
12
ENJOY!
