Cook 2 cups of elbow macaroni in boiling salted water till tender; drain. In saucepan, melt 3 TBS butter; blend in 2 TBS all purpose flour, 1/2 tsp salt, and dash pepper.
Add 2 cups milk; cook and still till thick and bubbly. Add 1/4 cup finely chopped onion and 8 ounces cheddar cheese or mixed cheeses, cubed. (This is the secret... we use only really

Mix cheese sauce with macaroni. Turn into 1 1/2 quart casserole. Sprinkle 1 sliced tomat
