Cooking Instructions

step 1
Cook Elbow Macaroni (455 g) according to instructions, strain, and set aside.
step 2
Make a roux by whisking together Butter (4 Tbsp) and All-Purpose Flour (4 Tbsp) over low heat in a Dutch Oven.
step 3
Add Milk (240 mL), Half and Half (120 mL), Chili Powder (1 tsp), Onion Powder (1/2 tsp), Ground Nutmeg (1/4 tsp), and about 2/3 of your shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese (225 g) and Monterey Jack Cheese (225 g). Whisk over low heat until smooth.
step 4
Add cooked macaroni and mix until coated evenly with cheese sauce. Add more half & half if needed. It should be pretty loose and easy to stir. Taste and add Salt (to taste) or Ground Black Pepper (to taste) if needed.
step 5
Remove from heat and stir in the rest of your cheese. Garnish with Fresh Parsley (1 handful) for some freshness and enjoy!
