Instructions: Cook macaroni to al dente stage, (or till not quite done). Drain, rinse and reserve. Heat butter in a saucepan. Cook the onion until tender, but not browned, adding the bacon. Stir in flour, salt and pepper. Very slowly add the milk constantly stirring till mixed. I then transfer contents to a large measuring cup and pop it into the microwave for a couple of minutes on high stirring in between zaps till sauce thickens. Stir in mustard. You might have to do several increments of two minute intervals with a stir in between before its thickened to your liking. Or you can continue cooking over low heat, stirring constantly until thickened.

Remove from heat. Mix well and pour cooked macaroni and sauce into lightly greased casserole. Stir in one cup of grated cheese. Sprinkle remaining cup on top and bake at 350 uncovered for 15-25 minutes or until thoroughly heated through, is bubbly and cheese topping has become a beautiful golden brown. You might want to use more grated cheese on top.
