Tini's Mac & Cheese

1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a 9x13 baking dish.

2: Cook pasta until al dente (1-2 minutes less than what packaging says).

3: Grate all cheese and combine into a bowl. Reserve half of the cheese in a separate bowl.

4: Combine all spices together in a small bowl and divide half of the spice blend into a separate bowl.

5: Melt butter in a large, deep pan on medium heat. Add flour and reserved spice blend. Cook for 1-2 minutes.

6: Add evaporated milk into the roux and whisk until smooth. Slowly add in heavy cream, remaining spice blend, and Dijon mustard. Cook & thicken for 2-3 minutes.

7: Add in half the cheese, handful by handful, until the cheese melts.

8: Fold cooked pasta into the cheese sauce.

9: Layer half into the prepared 9x13 dish, topping with half of the remaining grated cheese, then repeat.

10: Bake for 25-30 minutes. Broil for 1-2 minutes to get an extra golden top.
