Smoky Hills Mac'n Cheese

Ingredients: 8 oz. elbow macaroni pasta 1/4 tsp. mustard powder 1/2 tbsp. smoked Spanish sweet paprika 2 tsp. all-purpose flour 1/4 tsp. nutmeg 1-12 oz. can evaporated milk* 3 tbsp. Smoky Hills Cheese Powder 2 tbsp. Romano Cheese Powder 2 tbsp. butter 1 slice/piece creamy cheese (American or Babybel)

*Notes: You can make your own evaporated milk by heating 16 ounces of 2% milk over low heat. Do not boil, but simmer slowly until it reduces down to about a 1/3 of its original amount. Try a slightly different version of this recipe that was featured on our Food Network show, Spice & Easy. Directions: Cook pasta according to directions on package. In a heat proof bowl, combine mustard powder, paprika, flour and nutmeg. Set aside. In a saucepan over medium/low heat, warm evaporated milk. Once warm, slowly whisk milk into dry mixture to prevent lumps. Transfer back into saucepan, continuing to heat. Slowly incorporate cheese powders into the saucepan, whisking to prevent lumps. Add butter and chopped cheese and stir until melted. Drain pasta and thoroughly mix into cheese mixture. Heat through and serve.
