Instruction

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the uncooked macaroni noodles to the water and stir.
  • Let pasta cook until al dente. Strain noodles and set aside.
  • Next, prepare a roux by heating a large pot or dutch oven over medium/high heat. Add butter.
  • When the butter is melted add flour and whisk until the butter and flour form a crumble.
  • Slowly add milk to the pot, whisking constantly. Continue to whisk the roux over medium/high heat for about 4-6 minutes or until the roux thickens.
  • When the roux is thick, remove from heat and add the cheddar and gouda cheese. Whisk until the cheese has melted.
  • Add mustard powder, hot sauce, and salt and pepper to the cheese sauce. Mix well.
  • Finally, add the cooked macaroni noodles to the cheese sauce and mix until the noodles are covered in cheese sauce.
