31 INGREDIENTS
32
33 • 8 oz package elbow macaroni (GF)
34
35 • 2 tablespoons butter
36
37 • 1 cup evaporated milk, heavy cream, or half & half
38
39 • 8 oz block of cheese, shredded (I used half 4 Cheese Mexican and half Parm Reg)
40
41 ~* 1 tsp dried mustard
42
43 ~* 1/4 tsp ground white pepper (or more, depending on how peppy you want it)
44
45 ~* 1/4-1/2 tsp truffle salt
46
47 ~* 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg (if that’s your thing, entirely optional)
48
49 ~* 1-2 tablespoons cider vinegar (sharpens the flavor, especially if you’re not using sharp cheddar)

52 INSTRUCTIONS
53
54
55 • First boil the noodles in a large pot, according to box instructions. Drain the noodles after the allotted time.
56
57 • While the noodles are still in the strainer, put 2 tablespoons of butter into the same pot and return to the stove on medium heat. When the butter is melted, add in your cream and stir. The cream needs to warm before adding the cheese, so continue stirring for another minute or so.
58
59 • When the cream is hot and steaming, but not boiling, turn the heat down to medium-low and add about a quarter of the cheese.
60
61 • Continue stirring until all the cheese is melted, and then add more in quarters, until all the cheese is melted.
62
63 ~* Add in the seasonings and taste. Adjust as necessary.
64
65 • Dump the noodles back in the pot and stir until the noodles are coated.
