Baked Broccoli, Macaroni & Cheese

2 Tbs butter
2 Tbs dried minced onion
2 Tbs flour
2 cups milk
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 box elbow macaroni
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
2 cups sliced American cheese, broken into 2-inch pieces
3 cups frozen chopped broccoli

1) Heat oven to 350F. In medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter; add onion. Cook 2 minutes. Add flour; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in milk and seasonings; cook, stirring frequently, until mixture boils and thickens.
2) Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions; drain.
3) Stir cheeses into sauce.
4) In 2-quart baking dish, stir together broccoli, cheese sauce and pasta. Bake 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Review: This was rich and yummy. I added bread crumbs to the top to make it extra savory. I had lots of leftovers, which means I get to eat it a few more times, too.
