Instructions

Bring 4 quarts of salted water to a rolling boil in a large pot.
Add elbow macaroni and cook for about 10 minutes or until very tender, stirring occasionally.
Drain the macaroni and return it to the pot.
Over low heat, combine heavy cream, mustard powder, salt, Velveeta, and shredded cheddar in the same pot.
Stir constantly for 3 to 4 minutes until the cheese melts into a smooth sauce; avoid boiling the sauce.
Remove from heat and stir to ensure sauce is evenly distributed.
Serve immediately to enjoy the creaminess, adding a splash of extra cream if needed.

Notes

Adjust the cheese quantities based on your preference for creaminess.
For a zestier flavor, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or extra mustard powder.
This mac and cheese can be baked for a crispy topping by adding breadcrumbs before placing it in the oven.
