Cook macaroni in boiling salted water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.

Drain macaroni and set aside.

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large bowl, mix cooked macaroni with cheese, milk, and eggs until well combined.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, then sauté onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add sautéed onion to the macaroni mixture and stir to combine.

Season with black pepper, salt, mustard powder, paprika, and garlic powder; mix well.

Transfer the macaroni mixture into a greased baking dish.

Sprinkle bread crumbs evenly over the top of the macaroni.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
