Ingredients
3 cups Elbows
1/4 cup Butter
3 tablespoons Flour
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Onion Powder
Salt & Pepper, to taste
1 1/2 cups Milk
2 cups Cheddar Cheese, freshly shredded
1 cup Mozzarella cheese, freshly shredded
Instructions
Cook the elbow pasta al dente in a medium or large pot.
While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in the dutch oven.
Once the butter is melted, whisk in the flour, then whisk in the spices.
Slowly pour the milk into the butter and flour mixture to make a roux.
Once all of the milk is whisked in and the sauce is thick, add all of the cheese and stir in until melted.
Then remove from the heat and stir in all of the elbow pasta until it is covered well.
Allow to cool slightly before serving, then enjoy!
Notes
Storage and reheating instructions:
Store any leftover macaroni and cheese using an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
Reheat in a saucepan over a medium heat on stove until heated through. You may have to add some milk to help get a creamier texture.
Use a microwave safe dish to reheat a single serving in the microwave for 1 minute. Then stir and reheat using 30 second intervals until heated through.
