Creating Buffalo Mac and Cheese is straightforward and enjoyable. Follow these simple steps:

1. Cook Pasta: Boil a large pot of salted water. Add elbow macaroni and cook until al dente, usually about 7-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. Make Cheese Sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbly.
3. Add Milk: Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously. Keep whisking until the mixture thickens, approximately 5-7 minutes.
4. Incorporate Cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, mixing until melted and smooth.
5. Season: Add buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the cheese sauce. Stir well to blend all the flavors.
6. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce. Mix thoroughly until all pasta is coated in the delicious sauce.
7. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread evenly.
8. Add Blue Cheese: If desired, sprinkle crumbled blue cheese over the top for an added tangy flavor.
9. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20 minutes or until bubbly and golden on top.
10. Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

By following these steps, you’ll end up with a heavenly Buffalo Mac and Cheese that is sure to impress everyone at the table!
