Instructions
0 Cook pasta according to package directions, drain, and set pasta. 1 To a large skillet, add the butter and heat over medium heat to melt. 2 Add the flour and whisk constantly until the mixture turns light brown and has bubbled for about 2 minutes. Cook long enough to cook off the raw flour taste, but not so long it gets overly browned. 3 Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly, making sure to smooth out any possible clumps that formed. 4 Add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, optional dry mustard, and whisk to incorporate. 5 Add the cheddar, parmesan, and whisk until melted and smooth. 6 Add the pasta and stir to evenly coat. Depending on preference, if macaroni and cheese is on the thicker side, add a splash of water or milk to thin out to taste. I haven’t needed to do this, but it’s an option in case. 7 Serve immediately.View original recipe
