Moose Noodles Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until it's lightly golden. Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously until the mixture thickens.

  3. 3

    Add the Cheese

    Reduce heat to low and gradually stir in the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses until melted and smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  4. 4

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the drained macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until well combined. If desired, transfer to a baking dish.

  5. 5

    Optional Topping

    If using breadcrumbs, sprinkle them evenly over the top of the macaroni and cheese. You may also add a little extra cheese on top for a golden finish.

  6. 6

    Bake (optional)

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven (if baked) and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Moose Noodles!
