  • 1 pound elbow macaroni
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups whole milk (warmed)

  2. Cook the Pasta: Bring salted water to a boil and cook elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. Make the Cheese Sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour to create a roux. Gradually add warmed milk until smooth, then stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
  4. Combine Everything: Mix pulled beef with cooked macaroni and BBQ sauce, then pour in cheese sauce and stir well.
