Smoked Gouda Mac and Cheese

Method

1. 01

   Boil water in a small/medium pot and cook macaroni pasta based on package instructions. When done drain water from pasta.

2. 02

   Bring a medium/large pot to medium heat. Melt butter then add flour, stirring to combine. Add heavy cream, 1/4 cups of milk and salt. Use a whisk to stir continuously to remove the grainy texture formed by the flour.

3. 03

   Once it comes to a boil, turn off heat and add shredded gouda cheese and American cheese. Stir to incorporate cheese into sauce until cheese dissolves. If cheese sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of milk and stir to thin it out. (See Note 1)

4. 04

   Taste, and add more salt if needed.

5. 05

   Fold drained pasta into cheese sauce.

6. 06

   Serve and enjoy!
