Grandma Ruth's Macaroni and Cheese

The people who tolerate Easy Mac disgust me. Bleh. I don't know how anyone could possibly live on that stuff! I mean cheese powder? That is just so wrong. Anyway, rant over: it just disgusts me because I have enjoyed the good stuff, the real deal. This recipe comes from my beloved grandmother.

1 3/4 c macaroni
1 small onion
1/4 c butter
2 c cubed cheese
1 can evaporated milk
