Ingredients
- 8 oz elbow macaroni
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the milk and bring it to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in the elbow macaroni and let it cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
- Gradually add the cheddar and pepper jack cheese, mixing until melted and creamy. If it’s too thick, feel free to add a splash more milk.
- Once everything is well combined and creamy, remove from heat and let sit for a couple of minutes to thicken up a bit more.
- Serve it hot, topped with chopped green onions if you’re feeling fancy. Enjoy every creamy, spicy bite!
