Ingredients
- 1 lb noodles of choice shells recommended
- 16.9 oz bone broth such as Kettle & Fire
- ½ cup water
- 4 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp flour
- 3 cups milk
- 1 lb white American or white cheddar cheese freshly grated preferred
- 2 –3 tbsp black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
Instructions
- Cook the noodles in bone broth and water until tender. No need to drain.
- In a separate pot, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour to make a roux, then slowly pour in milk, whisking until smooth.
- Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and plenty of black pepper. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the cheese until melted and creamy.
- Add cooked noodles into the cheese sauce, stirring to coat. Let cook on low until thickened. Adjust seasonings as desired—extra black pepper makes it even better.
