INSTRUCTIONS

1 Preheat oven to 375°F. Melt butter in large saucepan on medium heat. Sprinkle with flour. Cook and stir 2 minutes.
2 Slowly add milk, whisking constantly. Bring to a boil. Cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. When mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, stir in cream cheese, smoked Gouda, Cheddar cheese, and 4 tablespoons of the Seasoning. Simmer, stirring consistently, until cheese is completely melted.
3 Add cooked pasta to cheese sauce and stir gently to mix. Transfer mixture to 13x9-inch baking dish. Bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 20 to 25 minutes.
4 Meanwhile, mix Crispy Fried Onions and remaining 1 tablespoon Seasoning in a small bowl. Remove mac & cheese from oven; sprinkle with seasoned onions. Bake 5 minutes longer, just until onions begin to brown.
