French Onion Soup and Mac and Cheese

We decided to make some French Onion Soup the other day. Dad got the recipe out of the newspaper. You cook the onions in the slow cooker with some butter for 4 hours and then stir it. Then you cook it for another 6 hours. Instead of bread use hamburger buns. Trust me they are much softer and sweeter then hard bread that is typically used. A little Gruyere cheese and your good to go.

My macaroni and cheese is pretty simple. Boil water being sure to add salt but not to over salt because then it will taste-bad. Under boil the noodles in the salted water. In another pan melt butter and when it is done add 1/4 cup of flour. Let the flour to thinken and then add a cup or so of 1/2 and 1/2. Add two shakes of garlic powder and thyme. Depending on how much you make you can layer slices of chese with the noodles and sauce. I use the mexican chese blend as well as cheddar. Bake for 25 minutes and then add more chese and serve.

Yum!
