Better Than Store Bought Macaroni and Cheese

Ingredients

• 2 cups macaroni
• 1 tablespoon butter
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon mustard powder
• ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 cup 35% heavy cream

Directions

1. Boil the macaroni in a large pot of well salted water until almost tender. Drain.

4. Turn the heat up to medium. Switch to a silicone spatula and stir the mixture until the cheese melts into the sauce.
