Cooking Instructions

1hr
  1. 1

    Warm the heavy whipping cream in the microwave or saucepan until warm to touch

  2. 2

    Melt the butter in a saucepan but dont let it brown

  3. 3

    Add the flour and stir it quickly into the butter

  4. 4

    Cook and stir the mixture for about 5-8 minutes. the butter and flour will dry out slightly and turn just a bit darker to a more golden color. Do not let it brown or darken; we are creating a "blond" or golden roux, where the flour has just been cooked.

  5. 5

    Pour in just a few tablespoons of the hot milk, just enough to moisten the flour and butter mixture. Stir thoroughly to loosen up the thick flour mixture.

  6. 6

    Now grab the whisk and gradually add the rest of the milk to the loosened flour mixture while whisking constantly. Whisk vigorously until smooth!

  7. 7

    Cook, stirring constantly, until starting to bubble and thicken. You will be left with a thick, warm, creamy mix of flour, butter, and milk. From here, you can add cheese, salt, and pepper to create a sauce for mac 'n' cheese

  8. 8

    Boil water and cook the pasta until aldante

  9. 9

    Mix the pasta and the cream into a single pan

  10. 10

    Start slowly adding all of the freshly shredded cheeses to the mixture. cook until melted

  11. 11

    Add a few torn slices of white american cheese.
