Honey Mac and Cheese

Ingredients

1/2 onion, diced
1 1-lb box macaroni
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tsp butter
1 tsp black pepper
1 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon chilli powder
1 habanero pepper, minced
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
1 cup shredded mild cheddar, divided
1 cup shredded mozzarella, divided
1/3 cup crushed cheese crackers

Directions

Preheat oven to 325˚. Prepare macaroni to package instructions and then drain.

In a large skillet sauté onion in butter over medium heat until it begins to turn translucent. Add in flour and whisk to combine. Cook for one minute, whisking constantly. Slowly add milk to pan, stirring the whole time.

Add black pepper, egg, mustard, honey, chili powder, habanero and stir. Remove from heat and add in cheeses, reserving 1/4 cup of each. Stir until smooth and cheese is fully incorporated.

Pour macaroni into a deep 9×13 casserole dish or baking pan. Cover with sauce and stir to coat. Top with crushed crackers and the reserved cheeses.

Bake for 25 minutes or until cheese on top is fully melted and beginning to brown.
