If you want to make it savory and smoky, use bacon grease instead of butter.
Remember to use block cheese instead of shredded cheese as it melts evenly and tastes fresher.
Step 2:
Place a pan over heat.
Add butter and let it melt.
Once melted, slowly add the flour and whisk to combine.
Cook for a minute.
Step 3:
Slowly whisk in the first cup of milk.
Once it becomes thick, slowly add the remaining cup, whisking after every addition.
Step 4:
Sprinkle the shredded cheese, while continuously whisking to melt the cheese.
Step 5:
Add the cooked elbow macaroni to your casserole and spread it evenly.
Pour the cheese mixture over the macaroni and mix until well combined.
Step 6:
Season with the creole kick and mix well.
Make a taste test and add more if needed.
Step 7:
Sprinkle more cheddar and Monterey shredded cheese on top.
Cover the top with aluminum foil.
Step 8:
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes.
If you want the top brown, remove the foil and cook it for a few more minutes.
