Ingredients
- 2 cups Elbow macaroni
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Velveeta cheese
- 0.25 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 7-8 minutes. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it becomes light golden brown.
Step 3
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Allow the mixture to heat until it just begins to bubble and thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Velveeta cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese. Stir continuously until the cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step 5
Season the sauce with salt and white pepper, adjusting to taste if needed.
Step 6
Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce, stirring to coat all the pasta evenly.
Step 7
Transfer the macaroni and cheese to a serving dish and serve immediately while hot and creamy.
