Ingredients

• 1 Small red onion, minced
• 16 Ounces (oz) small pasta shells, packaged
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 Cups brown sugar
• 3 11 Ounces (oz) condensed cream of Cheddar cheese soup, packaged
• 0.67 Cups Havarti cheese, shredded
• 0.25 Cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1.33 Cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 Pinch garlic powder, to taste

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a boil. Add the minced red onion and pasta shells. Cook until the pasta is al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and transfer the mixture to a large casserole dish.
3. Season the pasta and onion mixture with salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder.
4. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Pour this over the pasta and stir to combine.
5. Add the condensed cream of Cheddar cheese soup, shredded Havarti cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and 0.33 cups of the shredded Cheddar cheese to the pasta. Stir until everything is well combined and the cheese is evenly distributed.
6. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
8. For an extra crispy top, switch the oven setting to 'Broil' and cook for an additional 4 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
9. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your decadent mac and cheese masterpiece!
