Healthy Holiday Baked Mac And Cheese

2 cups whole wheat macaroni
2 cups finely chopped onion
1 tsp olive oil
2 cups fat-free evaporated skim milk
1 egg, beaten with a fork
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 to 2 cups finely shredded low-fat Cheddar cheese
1 cup finely crushed multi grain crackers
1 tsp olive oil

Cook the macaroni according to package directions, but keep just slightly firm; drain and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil a casserole dish.

Put onions in a large saucepan with 1 tsp olive oil and cook over medium heat until onions soften; remove from heat.

Into this saucepan, add the milk, stirring until onion cools, then add the egg, mustard, black pepper, and cheese.

Now put heat back on low and stir until cheese melts, then add the cooked macaroni and stir until combined, then turn mixture into prepared casserole.

Bake, uncovered in preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix the crushed crackers with olive oil and set aside.

After the 20 minutes, remove the casserole and sprinkle the crushed crackers evenly over the top, return the casserole to oven and bake another 5 to 10 minutes until the crackers brown slightly.

Will serve 8 to 10.
