I make mac and cheese as an oven casserole. Cook the macaroni first, of course. Then I make white sauce out of butter, flour and milk, into which I stir as many different kinds of cheese as I have in the fridge. Then I combine the cooked macaroni with the cheese sauce and turn the whole glorious concoction into a greased baking dish and bake it in the oven for half an hour or so at 350. A pinch of dry mustard in the sauce is good too.
I have started adding cooked bacon and sautéed chopped onion to the dish; it disappears at potlucks almost before I set the dish on the table.

If you do that, do you cook it first according to box directions? Surely you don't put the raw pasta in the baking pan do you? Then there is the issue of the butter which is part of what goes into that. Butter burns very easily so how would one do this? Any ideas? Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
