HK Mac & Cheese

I don't think anyone loves mac & cheese more than my youngest three children. Halle & Kierste narrowed their recipe picks down to this one, and they make it together at least once a week. Connor is as obsessed as they are.


HK Mac & Cheese

1/2 pkg. noodles (pasta of choice)
3 T. butter
3 T. flour
2 c. milk or heavy whipping cream (or half of both)
1 c. shredded cheese

Seasoning mixture:
1/2 t. onion powder
1/2 t. salt
1/2 T. Valentina hot sauce


Boil noodles and drain. 
Melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in flour and half the seasoning.
Once it starts to boil, stir for one minute. (Stir consistently to avoid over-boiling)
Stir in milk or cream until thickened. (Should be consistency of gravy or close.)
Turn the heat to low. Stir in rest of the seasoning.
Slowly add 1 cup of cheese, one handful at a time. (Stir all the way in before adding next handful.) 
Pour noodles into cheese sauce and mix.
Turn off stove and serve!

Optional: pepper, paprika

We always add extra hot sauce and salt to our taste!
