Serve immediately (very creamy) or pour into a buttered baking dish, top with extra cheese, and bake at 350˚ for 20 to 25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top. (Do not under-salt!) Pour in the drained, cooked macaroni and stir to combine. Taste the sauce and add more salt and seasoned salt as needed.

Add milk, salt, pepper, paprika, and ground mustard, and whisk constantly to combine. Add flour and stir to combine, creating a paste. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes. Cook macaroni according to package directions. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, the pasta, and broccoli. Slowly whisk in the milk, followed by the shredded cheese. In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat.

Whisk that up until smooth (you’re making a roux here, which will thicken the cheese sauce). Once melted, stir in the flour and spices.
