Looking for a crowd pleaser for your next tailgate? You have found it here. Easy to make, delicious and one you will be making all fall.
- 5 cups of any cheese in any ratio
(We used 1 1/4 cup each Havarti, Gouda, Cheddar, Pepper Jack)
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 tbsp ground mustard
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 16oz noodles (we used elbows for this)
- 3/4 cup any beer (about half can)(amber lager/ale works best)
- Prep oven for 400 degrees
- Cook noodles just under al dente, they’ll cook more in the oven
- Melt butter over low heat
- After butter is melted mix in flour, salt, and ground mustard. Use a whisk to beat and combine with melted butter
- Pour in milk, raise to medium heat, continue beating
- When sauce is mixed together, mix in cheese. Best to do a little at a time to ensure it properly melts.
- After cheese is melted, mix in beer
- Mix noodles and sauce together into a greased baking pan, top with smoked paprika
- Place in oven for 15-20 minutes
- (Optional) with 5-10 minutes left, top with any additional cheese
