Ingredients

1 pound dried elbow macaroni pasta

½ cup unsalted butter

¼ cup all-purpose flour

3 ½ cups whole milk

4 cups shredded medium cheddar cheese

2 cups shredded Monterrey Jack cheese

2 teaspoons sea salt

1 pack gimme Big Sheets, Sea Salt

Instructions

  1. Mix together both varieties of shredded cheese and set aside.
  2. Chop Gimme Big Sheets into small, ¼ - ½ inch squares. Mix about half the mixture with 3 cups of shredded cheese and set aside.
  3. Preheat oven to 325°F and lightly oil or butter a large 9x13 baking dish (or two 8x8 baking dishes).
  4. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to pack until al dente (typically 1-2 minutes less than pack instructs).
  5. Drain and toss with a teeny bit of oil so pasta doesn’t stick together.
  6. In the same pot over medium heat, melt butter and whisk in flour for 2-3 minutes until mixture is lightly golden.
  7. Add 2 cups of milk while whisking to smoothly incorporate into butter mixture then whisk in remaining milk. Continue whisking every few minutes for about 3-6 minutes until it is a thickish consistency.
  8. Stir in salt + 3 cups of shredded cheese until melted and smooth.
  9. Remove from heat and stir in cooked pasta and chopped Gimme.
  10. Add half of cheesy pasta to baking dish, layer with half the shredded cheese and gimme mix. Top with remaining cheesy pasta and shredded cheese and Gimme mix.
  11. Bake 5-10 minutes until cheese is melty then serve hot and enjoy!
