Ingredients:
8 oz elbow macaroni
4 oz Velveeta, cubed
4 oz sharp cheddar, shredded
4 oz mozzarella, shredded
4 oz Colby Jack, shredded
½ cup heavy cream
½ can evaporated milk
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
Directions:
Cook the macaroni in salted boiling water until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and garlic powder and cook for about 1–2 minutes, just until the roux is smooth and lightly fragrant (do not brown).
Slowly whisk in the evaporated milk, heating gently until warm but not boiling. Add the heavy cream and continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
Add the Velveeta cubes and stir until fully melted. Gradually add the shredded cheeses a small handful at a time, stirring constantly until the sauce is silky and fully combined. Season with salt and pepper.
Fold in the cooked macaroni and stir until every noodle is coated in that iconic, creamy cheese sauce.
Serve hot and enjoy!
