Family style macaroni and cheese
I think you'll know what this is a copy of. It's a frozen macaroni and cheese from my childhood lunches
1 lbs elbow macaroni
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup flour
6 cups of milk
1 lbs shredded cheddar
8 ounces Velveeta cheese, torn into pieces
4 ounces grated pecorino romano cheese
1/2 tsp ground dry mustard
1/4 tsp onion powder
a pinch of cayenne
ground black pepper to taste
Cook the pasta in salted water according to directions, just past aldente in a large pot
Drain and set aside
In the same pot over medium heat, melt the butter and cook until the butter stops sizzling 2-3 minutes
Add the flour and whisk to make a roux
Add the milk and turn up the heat to bring to a simmer
When it comes to a simmer, turn down the heat to low and cook until it coats the back of a spoon, about 2-5 minutes
Add in the cheeses and spices and stir over low heat until cheese is melted
Add the pasta and stir to break up any noodles that get stuck together
Taste for seasoning
Bake in a 13 X 9 pan at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until everything is bubbly (you can go longer if you want some crispy bits in the corners)
