Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large pot, add water and bring to a boil. Add elbow macaroni (for creamier macaroni use 3 cups pasta - for not as creamy, use 4 cups macaroni) and salt and boil for 8 minutes. Drain pasta and set aside.
- Make the cheese sauce by adding the butter to a large skillet over medium heat and melting. Add the flour and whisk for about 1 minute, to create a roux. Whisk in the milk and half and half and cook, whisking often, for 6-7 minutes.
- Stir in 2 cups cheddar cheese and 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese. Mix until melted and combined.
- Stir in hot sauce to the desired level of spiciness.
- Add ¼ cup Gorgonzola, chicken, and macaroni to the cheese sauce mixture; mix well to combine.
- Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 9x13 baking dish and sprinkle with ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and ¼ cup gorgonzola cheese. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
- Serve hot and enjoy!!
