Step by Step Method
Step 1
Melt butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk the flour into the butter continuously for about 6-7 minutes (until mixture is light brown.)
Step 2
Slowly add the whole milk whisking continuously until smooth; bring mixture to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer while whisking continuously. Whisk mixture about 5 minutes or until slightly thickened (if it gets too thick, just add a little more milk.) Reduce heat to low, add cheeses, salt, spices and dijon and stir until cheese is melted. Remove from heat and in a large pot mix the cheese sauce with the cooked macaroni, stir until thoroughly mixed.
Step 3
Serve immediately.
