Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup macaroni
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
1 (8 ounce) container refrigerated sharp cheese spread (if you can't find it, Cheese Whiz is an okay substitute but really go for the sharp spread)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 tablespoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • Cook macaroni just until al dente and drain, set aside.
  • While pasta is boiling, melt the butter in a large saucepan.
  • Whisk in the flour over medium heat until smooth & bubbly (only about a minute).
  • Stir in evaporated milk, cheese spread, pepper, mustard, seasoned salt, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce and cayenne pepper Keep cooking and stirring over medium heat until sauce has thickened (about 3 or 4 minutes).
  • Add the shredded cheddar cheese and Velveeta to the white sauce and stir just until cheeses have melted.
  • Add macaroni and stir until pasta is evenly coated with the cheese sauce.
  • Pour into a casserole dish sprayed with Pam.
