Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk, cooking until thickened. Stir in cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.

  4. 4

    Mix the Mac n' Cheese

    Combine cooked macaroni, cheese sauce, and caramelized onions in a large bowl. Stir until well mixed.

Topping

  1. 5

    Prepare the Herb Breadcrumbs

    In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, thyme, and olive oil. Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.

  2. 6

    Assemble and Bake

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mac and cheese mixture to a baking dish. Sprinkle the herb breadcrumbs evenly over the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and bubbly.
