Skillet Fried Mac and Cheese from Zingerman's Roadhouse
Before picking up Ellen Brown's Mac & Cheese, I assumed all fried macaroni and cheese must be breaded and deep-fried a la Paula Deen.

Ingredients
- 1 pound elbow macaroni
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese, divided
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the pasta until it is al dente. Drain the pasta, run it under cold water, and return it to the pot.
