Step 1

Bring a medium size pot of water to a boil over medium heat. Stir in 1 tbsp salt. Add macaroni noodles and boil for about 5 minutes until noodles are al dente (still have a slight bite).

Step 2

Strain the noodles and rinse with cold water. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large pot melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour.

Step 4

Add the seasonings. Stir to combine. This will be a thick paste. Cook for 3-5 minutes to cook the flour.

Step 5

Pour in milk. Whisk to combine. Cook at just below a simmer for about 5-7 minutes, while continuing to stir occasionally. Sauce will thicken and be able to coat a spoon.

Step 6

Remove from heat, then stir in cheeses while they melt. Then add in the cream cheese and stir until that is completely melted.

Step 7

Add the cooked macaroni noodles to the cheese sauce. Stir to coat the noodles.

Step 8

Serve warm and enjoy.
