Steps
Boil the macaroni in salted water until tender but still firm (slightly under al dente). Drain and set aside.
Prepare a cheese sauce by creating a roux with butter and flour, then whisking in milk until thickened.
Melt a portion of the four cheeses (smoked Gouda, sharp cheddar, mozzarella, and Monterey Jack) into the sauce until smooth and creamy.
Fold the cooked macaroni into the cheese sauce until every noodle is thoroughly coated.
In a baking dish, layer the macaroni mixture with additional shredded cheese.
Bake in the oven until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
Notes
The source mentions that the recipe is behind a Substack paywall; quantities for the cheese sauce components (milk, butter, flour) and the specific cheese weights are estimated based on standard 1lb macaroni ratios. Smoked Gouda is highlighted as the key flavor differentiator.
