• 1 ½ tablespoons Morehouse Mustard
• 3 tablespoons flour

• Salt and pepper to taste
• Pinch of paprika
• ¼ cup cream cheese
• 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese ((or cheese of your choice)

Instructions

1. Cook Macaroni: Prepare macaroni noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Make Roux: Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook, stirring continuously, for 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is golden and smells nutty.
3. Add Milk: Gradually whisk in milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
4. Mix Cheese and Seasoning: Stir in 2 ½ cups cheddar, cream cheese, mustard, salt, pepper, and paprika until smooth and creamy.
5. Combine and Bake: Mix the cooked macaroni with the cheese sauce, then transfer to a baking dish. Top with the remaining ½ cup cheddar. Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden and bubbly.
