Directions:
Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the box, drain and set aside.

In a large Dutch oven or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk to combine, then cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly until the mixture is a light golden brown color and beginning to emit a nutty smell.

Reduce heat to medium-low and slowly whisk in the milk until smooth. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes, whisking occasionally.

Add the cheese, a handful at time, whisking well after each addition and not adding more until the previous handful is fully melted and incorporated. Season to taste.

Add the drained pasta to the cheese sauce and stir to combine, breaking up any clumps of macaroni. Serve immediately or put into crockpot to keep warm until serving.
