Instructions

Bring 4 quarts of salted water to a rolling boil in a large pot.
Add elbow macaroni and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.
Drain the macaroni and return it to the pot.
Over low heat, add heavy cream, mustard powder, salt, Velveeta, and shredded cheddar to the pot.
Stir constantly for 3 to 4 minutes until the cheeses melt into a smooth sauce.
Remove the pot from heat and stir the mac and cheese well to combine the sauce evenly.
Serve immediately for the best creamy texture, adding splashes of cream if needed.

Notes

For a creamier consistency, you can add more heavy cream before serving.
Feel free to add toppings like breadcrumbs or extra cheese for added texture.
Make sure to keep the heat low while melting the cheese for a smoother sauce.
