Time 20m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup elbow macaroni
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
¾ cup fat-free half-and-half
¾ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon dry mustard powder
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 pinch ground turmeric

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.

Stir until sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Add Cheddar cheese, salt, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, pepper, and turmeric; whisk to combine.
  • Drain macaroni and add to the cheese sauce. Stir until evenly coated.

I love that this recipe is so versatile. I can add whatever cheese I like, and I can also change up the add-ins. I've made it with bacon, jalapeños, and even lobster.

This recipe is a great base for mac and cheese, but I like to add a few things to make it my own. I always add a little bit of garlic powder and onion powder to the sauce, and I also like to top it with some grated Parmesan cheese before baking.

I was really disappointed with this recipe. The sauce was bland and watery, and the pasta was overcooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
