Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 lb macaroni
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2.5 tbsp flour
- 3 cups milk
- 2¾ cups chicken stock
- 1/3 cup cream cheese
- 3 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 cup white cheddar cheese shredded
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp ground mustard
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
- fresh chives optional
- fresh tomatoes optional
Instructions
- Bring a large deep pan to medium heat. Add you butter, and once melted add your flour. Using a whisk gently stir the flour, combining it with the butter, ensuring no clumps remain. About 2 minutes.
- Add your chicken stock and bring to a light boil, stirring often. Once slightly thickened, add you milk. About 2 minutes.
- Add your seasonings and macaroni and mix together well.
- Bring the pasta to a boil stirring often to avoid it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Once the pasta is nearly cooked, and some liquid remains, add your cream cheese and combine.
- Once the pasta needs only another minute or two, add your shredded cheeses and mix together on low heat. Once the cheese has been incorporated and melted remove from heat.
- Top with tomatoes, chives and lots of fresh cracked pepper.
- Enjoy this one right away!
