Behold, the Ultimate Comfort Food: French Onion Mac n’ Cheese

Im pretty sure the two coziest foods in the entire world are French onion soup and mac n cheese. Hence, the reason why I thought it might be a good idea to combine the two into one bowl of cheesy, carb-driven comfort. 

In fact, Im not sure I can ever eat mac n cheese ever again without caramelized onions because it adds such a nice bite to an otherwise super cheesy one-note kind of dish. 

I used Gruyere in this mac n cheese because thats whats usually called for in French onion soup, but any meltable cheese would work well. Think fontina or your favorite cheddar or even mozzarella, though I do love the depth added by Gruyere. 

This ratio for mac n cheese is also a good base! I use it for all different types of mac n' cheese!
