Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounce elbow macaroni
  • 3 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • 1 cup crispy breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. 1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. 2. Caramelize the Onions: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they’re golden brown and caramelized, about 25-30 minutes. Toss in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

3. 3. Make the Cheese Sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the caramelized onions and stir to combine. Slowly whisk in the vegetable broth, milk, and heavy cream until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. Stir in the Gruyère, cheddar, and mozzarella cheeses until they’re melted and the sauce is creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme.

4. 4. Combine with the Pasta: Add the cooked macaroni to the cheesy onion sauce and stir until the pasta is evenly coated.

5. 5. Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Transfer the mac and cheese to a greased baking dish, then top with the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

6. 6. Serve and Enjoy: Allow the dish to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, take your time caramelizing the onions for deeper flavor. Use panko breadcrumbs for a crispy topping.
