Steps:
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onions, thyme, and bay leaf in the butter for 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until onions are browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate and discard the bay leaf. Reserve the skillet.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt remaining butter in the reserved skillet over medium heat. Whisk in flour for 1 minute, then whisk in beef broth and milk and bring to a boil; season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in Gruyere cheese until melted.
- Drain macaroni and toss with onion and sauce until well combined.

FRENCH ONION MAC-AND-CHEESE
Two soul-warming classics become one in this mash-up of mac-and-cheese and French onion soup. Use a triple-billing of big cheeses for maximum impact: Gruyère gives earthy notes, fontina provides a sweet undertone, and Emmentaler hits with some tart tang.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and thyme, season with salt and pepper, cover, and cook 5 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until onions are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes (if skillet darkens or onions begin to stick, add a splash of water).
- Add wine to skillet, scraping up browned bits from bottom with a wooden spoon. Stir in mustard and bouillon; remove from heat.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until still a bit crunchy, 5 minutes less than package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
- Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in same pot over medium-high heat. Add flour and cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk and reserved pasta water. Bring to a boil, whisking occasionally, then cook 1 minute.
- Remove from heat, mix cheeses together (you should have about 5 cups) and stir in all but 1 cup until melted. Stir in cooked pasta; season with salt. Divide pasta mixture evenly among six 6-ounce ramekins and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Top evenly with onion mixture, then bread. Bake 7 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheese and continue baking until bubbly, 6 to 8 minutes more. Garnish with thyme leaves; serve.

SWEET ONION MAC AND CHEESE
Chefs Brian McCracken and Dana Tough are in tune with your needs. While writing the menu for the newly opened The Coterie Room in Seattle, they focused on crave-worthy dishes, striving to make a lasting impression on their diners. Enter the restuarant's stepped-up macaroni and cheese. The base of the dish is soubise, or onion sauce, made using the classic French technique of caramelizing sweet onions and blending them into a smooth purée. The addition of three cheeses and whole milk creates a smooth sauce for orecchiette. Crisp, flash-fried shallots are sprinkled on top of the dish before it's served, which ensures an addictive crunch in each bite. I used french fried onions on top. I skipped the shallots.

Steps:
- Bring a stockpot full of salted water to a boil, add the orecchiette and cook until just al dente, about 10 minutes. Strain the pasta, toss with the olive oil and set aside.
- In large saucepan set over medium heat, add the tablespoon of canola oil, 2 tablespoons of the butter and the onion. Cook until the onion is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place the onions in a blender and purée until smooth. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, toss the shallot slices with the rice flour. Shake the excess rice flour out of the bowl. In a medium saucepan, add enough canola oil to come 2 inches up the side. Heat the oil to 320°. Add the shallot slices to the oil and fry until they're a light golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Strain the shallots on a paper-towel-lined sheet pan and season with salt and pepper.
- Make the cheese sauce: In a large saucepan or Dutch oven set over medium heat, melt the remaining 2 sticks of butter. Add the all-purpose flour. Cook, whisking constantly, until smooth and light brown in color, about 10 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk and continue whisking until the sauce is thick, about 20 minutes. Add the Fontina, Parmesan, cheddar and reserved onion purée. Whisk until incorporated. Season with salt and pepper. Fold in the pasta, chives and parsley. Garnish with the fried shallots and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil, add macaroni and cook for 8 minutes (noodles will still be slightly hard). Drain noodles and transfer to a large bowl with 1/4 cup of butter and toss to coat. Whisk together the sour cream, egg, and cream cheese; add to the pasta and mix well. Stir in 3 cups of grated Asiago and 3 cups of grated Cheddar cheese, reserving the remaining 2 cups of cheese for the topping.
- Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate and chop into small pieces.
- Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Stir 2 tablespoons butter, the onion, and garlic into the bacon drippings in the pan and cook and stir for 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and add the brown sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes until the onions are very soft and golden brown. Mix the cooked bacon, parsley, and panko breadcrumbs into the onions, transfer mixture to a small bowl and set aside.
- Return the skillet to the heat and melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour, and stir until the mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Gradually whisk the milk into the flour mixture and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook and stir until the mixture is smooth and thickened. Stir in the ground mustard, paprika, salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Remove sauce from heat and let cool for five minutes.
- Pour the sauce over the macaroni mixture, stirring well. Transfer to a greased 9x13 inch pan and sprinkle with the remaining 2 cups of Cheddar cheese. Top cheese with the onion breadcrumb mixture.
- Bake in preheated oven until bubbling, hot and golden brown on top, about 30 minutes.

MENA'S BAKED MACARONI AND CHEESE WITH CARAMELIZED ONION
This is a fancy macaroni and cheese recipe that I came up with. The sweet caramelized onions and the sharp cheese flavors really complement each other. This recipe requires a little more work, but it's worth it. Vegetable broth can be substituted for chicken broth to make this a vegetarian dish. Enjoy!!
