1
Cook the Macaroni
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2
Prepare the Cheese Sauce
In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk for about 1 minute to create a roux. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until thickened.
3
Add the Cheese
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the shredded smoked gouda, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
4
Combine and Serve
Add the cooked macaroni and caramelized onions to the cheese sauce, stirring gently to combine. Serve warm, topped with additional caramelized onions if desired.
