Smoked Gouda Mac and Cheese

Step 1

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

Step 2

Bring a medium/large pot to medium heat. Add butter and flour, then 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.

Step 3

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)

Step 4

Taste, and add more salt if needed.

Step 5

Fold drained pasta into cheese sauce.

Step 6

Serve and enjoy!
