I love this recipe! Add garlic powder to the milk, butter, and flour sauce add some flavor. Additionally, use Italian seasoned bread crumbs for topping it tastes amazing!

Add 2 tablespoons of dehydrated chopped onions to flour and butter. Great added flavor! Don’t cook pasta as suggested. Less time in water - more oven. Delicious!
