Ingredients

elbow macaroni
2 cup
unsalted butter
2 tbsp
all-purpose flour
2 tbsp
heavy cream
0.5 cup
milk
1 cup
shredded cheddar cheese
0.5 cup
mustard powder
0.5 tsp
onion powder
0.3 tsp

0.3 tsp

0.3 tsp
hot sauce

Step-by-Step Instructions

Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook until al dente according to the package directions, then drain well.

While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture looks smooth and lightly foamy but not browned.

Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and milk, adding a little at a time so the sauce stays smooth. Bring the sauce just to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
