Macaroni and cheese

Yeah, I know everyone has their own recipe for mac and cheese, but last night I made the best mac and cheese I have ever made.

16 oz of elbow macaroni
1/2 cup of butter
1 onion, chopped
6 tbs of flour
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp of Mexican chili powder
4 cups of milk ( I used 2 %)
2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups of four cheese Mexican blend shredded cheese (mix of Monterey Jack, Cheddar, Asadero, and Quesadilla cheeses)

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Cook macaroni for approx. 5 minutes. Drain.
In medium non-stick saucepan, melt butter. Add onion. Saute onion for about 2 minutes. Blend in flour, salt, pepper, and Mexican chili powder. Stir until paste is made. Gradually add milk. Bring to boil. Simmer until mixture thickens slightly.
Place cooked macaroni in buttered 9 X12 pan. Mix cheeses with macaroni. Pour sauce over cheese and macaroni. Stir.
Place in heated oven and bake for approx. thirty minutes or until top browns.
