Ingredients

Instructions

0 of 5 done
  1. Step 1

    Boil macaroni in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    While the pasta cooks, in a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in flour until smooth and cook for about 1 minute.

  3. Step 3

    Slowly whisk in half and half, stirring it in gradually until smooth. Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened and starting to bubble (do not let it get to a full boil).

  4. Step 4

    Reduce the heat to low and stir in hot sauce, salt, mustard powder, and garlic powder. Add shredded cheddar and mozzarella one handful at a time, stirring until the cheese melts.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from the heat and combine the cooked pasta and the cheese sauce, gently stirring until coated. Serve warm.
