Ingredients
- 8 oz large elbow macaroni noodles, about 2 cups dry
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp dry mustard powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 cup milk
- 8 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Directions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni noodles and cook according to the package instructions, about 10 minutes. Drain the pasta well and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, and dry mustard powder. Stir until smooth and fully incorporated, about 1 minute.
- Gradually pour the milk into the saucepan in a thin stream, whisking constantly to create a smooth mixture. Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to bubble and thicken, about 3–5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the cubed Velveeta cheese and shredded cheddar to the sauce. Stir until the cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is creamy.
- Add the cooked and drained macaroni to the cheese sauce. Stir until the pasta is evenly coated. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed. Serve immediately.
