This is a recipe I've honed over the past few years after trolling the internet for ones I liked. Super creamy and flavorful. I like mine in the microwave, but should cook well in the oven as well.

SERVES 6 -8 , 1 pan (change servings and units)

Directions

  1. 1
    Boil macaroni according to package directions.

  4. 4
    Add flour gradually while whisking and cook for 1 minute, still whisking.
  5. 5
    Add a small amount of milk to start the sauce then add all the spices.
  6. 6
    Whisk continuously while adding milk.
  7. 7
    Turn up the heat to high and continue whisking continuously to avoid burning the sauce.
  8. 8
    As sauce approaches a boil, begin to whisk in cheese one handful at a time, ensuring all cheese is melted before adding another.
  9. 9
    Take off the heat and whisk vigorously.

Although I often make various Mac & Cheese recipes for a neighbor couple, this time (made with a combo of Colby-Jack & sharp Cheddar) it was for the 2 of us, along with my son & DIL! CREAMY & DELICIOUS, IT IS (we liked the use of mustard & garlic salt) & definitely a keeper recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in New Kids on the Block]
