Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups macaroni, dry
2 cups milk
1 tbsp flour
2 tbsp butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 (10 1/2 oz) can tomato soup
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
1 tsp onion salt (the cheese is usually salty enough for most people) (optional)
black pepper
15 soda crackers
1 tbsp butter
2 tbsp parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup crushed potato chip
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 tbsp butter

Directions:

Cook macaroni according to package directions, only until al dente (tender yet firm, as they will be cooked again later) and set aside.
In large pot, melt butter and add flour to form roux.
Whisk in milk and onion, over medium heat until somewhat thickened (not too thick or you will need a knife to cut out chunks of mac & cheese!).
Remove from heat and add tomato soup, cheese and spices. It should be runny and pourable, about like ranch salad dressing for lack of a better example :) If too thick add milk and seasonings to taste.
Pour into a greased casserole dish.
In a ziplock bag, combine crub top ingredients of your choice, and crush with hands, mixing butter in until uniform. I think crackers are the best tasting!
Sprinkle over mac and cheese.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, til top is crunchy and pasta is bubbly.
ENJOY!
