Ingredients
- 1 pound elbow macaroni
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter , divided
- 1 green bell pepper , chopped finely
- 1/2 yellow onion , chopped finely
- 2 cups cooked steak , chopped finely
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 teaspoons ground mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 6 cups whole milk , (2% okay too)
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 8 ounces Velveeta cheese
- 12 ounces medium cheddar , divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Shred the cheeses, keeping 2 cups of the cheddar off to the side for the topping.
- Cook the pasta, then let it sit in the water an extra 10 minutes before draining and rinsing gently. This will help it avoid soaking up the cheese sauce.
- Add 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, green bell pepper, and onion to a large skillet on medium high heat.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes or until translucent, then add in the chopped cooked steak.
- Add in remaining 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, flour, mustard, cayenne, and paprika and whisk together until fully combined. Cook for an additional 15 seconds.
- Add the milk slowly while whisking to keep the mixture well combined.
- Add in the salt and pepper and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Turn off the heat.
- Remove 1 cup of the milk mixture and transfer to a larger glass measuring cup or bowl. Let cool for 3-5 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Add the egg to the cooled milk and whisk it well until fully combined.
- Turn the heat on the pot back on to medium-low.
- Slowly pour the egg and milk mixture into the rest of the milk while whisking very well.
- Add in the Velveeta and 1 cup of the sharp cheddar and whisk until combined.
- Add the rinsed macaroni and stir into cheese sauce.
- Pour into a 9x13 baking dish and top with the remaining 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 30 minutes, uncovered.
