Cheese and Onion Bake

4 to 5 med. Onions

1/4 cup Butter

1/4 cup Flour, all-purpose

2 cups Milk

1/2 teaspoon Salt

1/8 teaspoon Pepper

2 cups American (process) cheese, shredded

Cut onions into thin slices; separate into rings. Place onion rings in an ungreased 1-1/2 quart casserole. For the white sauce, melt butter in a small saucepan; blend in flour, and gradually stir in milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.

Add salt, pepper, and cheese; stir until cheese has melted. Pour sauce over onions. Bake, uncovered, at 325 degrees about 45 minutes.
Serves 4 to 6.
