Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese

Our favorite homemade mac and cheese recipe gets a meaty makeover with scoops of zesty pulled pork baked right on top.

Ingredients :
  • 1 pound elbow macaroni or short pasta, approx 3 cups dry pasta
  • ⅓ cup butter
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¾ cups whole milk
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth
  • 1 ½ teaspoons dry mustard powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 3 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese 12oz, divided
  • 1 ½ cups shredded pepper jack cheese 6oz
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cups prepared pulled pork
  • ½ cup barbecue sauce
  • green onions and cilantro, for garnish, optional
Directions :
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the elbows and cook al dente according to package instructions. Drain well and do not rinse.
  3. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, while stirring.
  4. Gradually add the milk and broth, a bit at a time, and whisk until smooth after each addition. Add dry mustard, salt, pepper, and onion powder. Bring the sauce to a boil and let boil for 1 minute until thickened.
  5. Remove from the heat and whisk in 2 cups of cheddar cheese, pepper jack, and parmesan cheese.
  6. Stir in the elbow macaroni, transfer to the prepared baking dish, and spread into an even layer.
  7. Gently top the macaroni with pulled pork. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and drizzle with bbq sauce.
  8. Bake 15 to 17 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Serve with additional barbecue sauce to taste.
