Total Time 35 minutes

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 pound elbow macaroni (or shells)
7 Tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 small onion, diced (about 1 cup)
1 garlic clove, minced (1 teaspoon)
6 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 and 1/2 cups 2% or whole milk
4 and 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 ounce brick-style cream cheese
2 teaspoons salt, divided
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
2 teaspoons dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

In a large pot of boiling water, add 1 teaspoon of salt and add the pasta. Cook the pasta for the time directed on the back of the package. Once the pasta is done, strain and stir in 1 Tablespoon of butter. Set aside.
In a large 12-inch skillet or dutch oven, melt 6 Tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once melted, add in the onions and garlic, and sauté for 5 minutes until the onions become very soft. Turn the burner up to medium-high heat, whisk in the flour to form a thick paste and cook for 1 minute (this helps cook out the flour taste), then slowly whisk in the milk. Once the milk is added, continue to whisk. The sauce will begin to simmer. Slowly whisk in the cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup at a time. Once the cheese is added, add the cream cheese. Continue to whisk as the cheese melts and the sauce becomes smooth and thick. Whisk in the remaining salt, black pepper, ground mustard, paprika, and red pepper flakes.
Add the pasta to the skillet and stir everything together until the pasta is completely coated.
All to sit for a few minutes before serving since it'll be hot. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired.

EASY SKILLET HAMBURGER AND MACARONI DINNER RECIPE - FOOD.COM

I don't know the origin of this recipe, but I've been making it for years, and it was always a family favorite. You can use as much, or as little, cheese as you like and any combination of cheese that suits you. I usually put parmesan down as my first layer, top that with shredded cheddar and then top that with some shredded mozzerella. (I like cheese). I have always used 1 1/2 cups of the dried elbows, 'cause I like my dish a little thicker. Enjoy.
