Ingredients
- 1 pound elbow macaroni
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup flour
- 4 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375F. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Cook the macaroni according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk continuously for 2 minutes, until smooth and bubbly (this is a roux).
- Slowly pour in the milk while whisking constantly. Keep whisking until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Add salt, black pepper, and cayenne if using. Add the cheddar, monterey jack, and parmesan cheese and stir until melted and combined. The sauce should be thick but still pourable.
- Add the cooked macaroni to the sauce and stir gently to coat. Pour the macaroni and cheese into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and bubbling. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
