• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

1 lb macaroni

1/4 cup butter

2 ½ tbsp flour

3 cups milk

2¾ cups chicken stock

1/3 cup cream cheese

3 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)

1 cup white cheddar cheese (shredded)

3/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1/4 tsp ground mustard

1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

fresh chives (optional)

fresh tomatoes (optional)

Directions

Bring a large deep pan to medium heat. Add you butter, and once melted add your flour. Using a whisk gently stir the flour, combining it with the butter, ensuring no clumps remain. About 2 minutes.

Add your chicken stock and bring to a light boil, stirring often. Once slightly thickened, add you milk. About 2 minutes.

Add your seasonings and macaroni and mix together well.

Bring the pasta to a boil stirring often to avoid it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Once the pasta is nearly cooked, and some liquid remains, add your cream cheese and combine.

Once the pasta needs only another minute or two, add your shredded cheeses and mix together on low heat. Once the cheese has been incorporated and melted remove from heat.

Top with tomatoes, chives and lots of fresh cracked pepper.

Enjoy this one right away!
