8 servings

1 pound elbow macaroni, cooked al dente
1 ½ pounds Hot Italian Sausage, cooked
1 ½ cups caramelized onions, chopped
1 quart milk
6 tablespoons Butter
6 tablespoons flour
¾ pound grated Gouda

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine pasta, sausage and 1 cup onions in a large bowl. In a medium sauce pan, heat milk until steaming. In a large saucepan melt butter over medium heat, add flour whisking constantly for 3 minutes. Whisk in warmed milk, ¼ cup at a time, until smooth and thick. Keep at a simmer, add 2 ½ cups of the shredded cheese, remove from heat and whisk until melted. Season with S&P to taste. Add cheese sauce to pasta mixture, stir through. Butter a 9 x 13 baking pan, pour in pasta mixture. Sprinkle with remaining onions and cheese. Bake about 40 minutes until slightly browned on top.
 
now there's an interesting concept--gouda in the mac 'n cheese--i like that! i really like gouda cheese!! thanks, pf! aren't you the one with recipes today?:)
 
I had a chunk of smoked Gouda that needed to be used so I added it to my regular mac-n-cheese a few weeks ago. It was really good! Of course it won't be a regular occurrence but it sure perked up a dish!
 
gouda cheese had never even crossed my mind for a casserole. i do believe, however, that regular gouda would be a better choice than smoked to put in a mac and cheese. unless of course you are going for domination. i might even mix it with some fontina cheese, which would be a natural fit for this type of scene....:)
