BBQ Mac 'n Cheese

• 2 cups pulled pork
• 1 cup BBQ sauce
• 1 lb elbow macaroni
• 4 TBSP all-purpose flour
• 4 TBSP butter
• 3 cups whole milk
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder

• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp salt

1) Preheat oven to 400°F.

2) Mix BBQ sauce and pork together, then set aside.

3) Cook paste to package directions for al-dente.

4) Over medium heat (I use setting "4" on my stove), melt butter then add spices. Whisk in flour to create a roux.

5) Vigorously mix with a whisk while adding the milk, until it is a smooth mixture. Cook for 5 minutes to thicken - should be able to coat the back of a spoon.

6) Add cheese and stir until melted. Add salt and pepper.

7) Combine the pasta and cheese sauce in a 9x13 baking dish.

8) Top the casserole with pulled pork.

9) Bake for 15 minutes, then broil for 2 minutes.

10) Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
