Whenever I write down a recipe I find, I don't always write down where I got it. I'll do my best to give credit where it is due.

Homemade Mac & Cheese from Erin Boden

 2 Tbs. cornstarch
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 1/2 cups milk
2 Tbs. margarine or butter
1/2 cup chopped onion or a small handful of dried onions (I just added this myself, but it adds good flavor)
2 cups cheese (my family prefers cheddar, but you could use american, or probably any type of cheese you want)
8 oz elbow noodles, cooked 5 minutes and drained

Combine cornstarch, salt, dry mustard and pepper in medium saucepan.  Stir in milk and butter and onions.  Stirring constantly, bring to boil over medium-high heat and boil 1 minute.  (It takes a while to boil but watch it because it is easy to scald the bottom.)  Remove from heat.  Stir in 1 3/4 cups cheese until melted.  Add elbows.  Pour into greased 2 quart casserole.  Top with remaining cheese and bread crumbs.  Bake at 375 for 25 minutes.
