Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
• 1 1/2 cups Onions diced
• 3/4 cup Green Pepper seeded and diced
• 1 teaspoon chopped Garlic
• 4 ounces All-Purpose Flour
• 3 cups Water
• 3 cups Half and Half
• 14 ounces Sharp Cheddar Cheese shredded
• 5 ounces Colby Cheese shredded
• 10 ounces American Cheese shredded
• 4 ounces Pecorino Romano Cheese shredded
• 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
• 2 teaspoons Lemon Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 2 teaspoons French's Yellow Mustard, or other Yellow Mustard, of choice
• 2 teaspoons White Vinegar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Tabasco Sauce
• 1 1/2 pounds Elbow Macaroni
• 8 ounces Cheddar Cheese shredded, to top
• 2 tablespoons Pecorino Romano Cheese shredded, to top

Instructions

• In a large cooking pot, add oil and place over medium heat.
• When oil is hot and shimmering, add onions and peppers. Cook until the onions are translucent.
• Add garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Stir in flour.
• Add water and Half and Half. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
• Using an immersion blender, purée this mixture until it is smooth (if you do not have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender. Work in batches, filling pitcher only half-full, since the liquid will be hot. Add puréed mixture back to cooking pot when done).
• Slowly add all cheeses (except 8 ounces Cheddar cheese and 2 tablespoons Pecorino Romano, listed at bottom of ingredients) to warm puréed mixture, stirring constantly, making sure each cheese is melted before adding more.
• Once cheese is completely melted, add salt, lemon pepper, sugar, mustard, vinegar and Tabasco. Stir to combine.
• Prepare pasta according to package directions, until al dente, but not completely soft. Drain.
• Combine hot, cooked pasta and sauce in large mixing bowl. Stir well to combine.
• Pour entire mixture into a greased oven safe 9 x 13-inch oven-safe serving dish.
• Top with 8 ounces of shredded Cheddar cheese and 2 tablespoons of Pecorino Romano cheese.
• Place under broiler until top is golden brown and bubbling.
• Carefully remove from oven and serve hot.
