Instructions:
Step 1:
In a deep pot, add 12 cups of water and 2 cubes of chicken-flavored bouillon. Once boiling, add the elbow mac and cheese. Cook based on package instructions. Strain once cooked.
Step 2:
In a big pot, add 1 stick of salted butter and 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Mix and allow the flour to cook. Next, add 2 cups of whole milk, chopped Velveeta cheese, some shredded Colby jack cheese, some shredded cheddar cheese, black pepper, and all four-cheese Mexican. Mix everything until well combined.
Step 3:
Once everything is melted, add salt, cayenne pepper, and paprika. Stir until well incorporated. Next, add garlic powder, onion powder, and complete seasoning. Mix well.
Step 4:
Pour the cheese sauce into the elbow pasta. Mix until everything is well-coated. Add two tablespoons of sour cream and half a cup of whole milk. Taste and adjust seasonings based on your preference.
Step 5:
Grease your aluminum tray with non-stick spray, then transfer your mac and cheese. Cover it with aluminum foil and place it inside the oven and bake at 350F for about 20 minutes.
Step 6:
Remove from the oven and mix it. Add the remaining Colby jack cheese and cheddar cheese on top. Sprinkle it with a little bit of cayenne and paprika if desired. Place it inside the oven and bake at 350 degrees on the top rack.
