Ingredients
Method
Beef
In a large skillet on medium, heat oil and sauté ground beef, breaking up with wooden spoon until no longer pink. Drain and return to pan. Stir in chili powder and chili flakes and continue to cook for 2 more minutes. Set aside.
Mac and Cheese
In a large pot, combine all-purpose flour and oil to make a rue. Cook rue over medium heat stirring, until lightly golden approx. 5 minutes. Gradually add milk, whisking constantly so that no lumps form. Whisk in salt and Dijon mustard to combine. Whisk in cheese and reduce heat to low. Cook, whisking for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in pasta and beef, until well combined. Pour mac and cheese mix into a parchment lined 13″ x 9″ baking pan and an 8″ x 8″ baking pan, mixture should be approx.¾” thick in each pan. Allow to cool for 15 minutes and then cover with parchment paper or plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
