Buffalo Mac And Cheese: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe for 6


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

– 8 ounces elbow macaroni
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
– 2 cups milk
– 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 cup buffalo sauce (adjust according to taste)
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional for topping)
– 1 tablespoon chopped green onions (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Buffalo Mac And Cheese is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Cook Pasta: Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Make Cheese Sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it turns golden.

3. Add Milk: Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Continue to cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

4. Add Cheese: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.

5. Incorporate Buffalo Sauce: Stir in the buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

6. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce, stirring until the pasta is fully coated.

7. Prepare for Baking (Optional): If using breadcrumbs, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the mac and cheese into a baking dish and sprinkle breadcrumbs on top for a crunchy finish.

8. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

9. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh touch.
