Quick, easy, and tasty macaroni and cheese dish. Fancy, designer mac and cheese often costs forty or fifty dollars to prepare when you have so many exotic and expensive cheeses, but they aren't always the best tasting. This simple recipe is cheap and tasty.

Ingredients
-
Rib Rub
-
Chipotle Rub
Milk 2 cups
Cheese 2 cups cheddar 1 cup parmesan
Butter 1/4 cup
Plain flour 1/4 cup
Bread Crumbs
Directions
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni until al dente, about 8 minutes
While the macaroni is cooking, go ahead and start on the roux.
A roux is a thickening agent made of one part fat and one part flour that makes up the base of this creamy mac and cheese.
- To make the roux, start by melting butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour, salt, and pepper and stir until smooth. Slowly pour in milk and stir until the mixture is smooth and bubbling. Be careful to not let the milk burn.
Finally, the most crucial step: Add cheese and the rib rub.
Slowly stir in 3/4 of the Cheddar and Parmesan cheese until smooth and melted. We recommend you grate your own cheese because pre-shredded cheese won't incorporate into the mixture as well as block cheese.
Once the macaroni is finished cooking, drain and stir into cheese sauce until coat.
Place into a baking tray and smooth out even then place more grated cheese over the top and then apply a light sprinkle of bread crumbs and rib rub or some extra Zing some Chipotle Rub bake for
