  • 1 pound elbow macaroni
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups whole milk (warmed)
  • 4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Place sliced onions in a slow cooker or Instant Pot. Top with trimmed beef shoulder and pour in ginger beef broth. Drizzle some BBQ sauce over the meat.

  3. Boil salted water and cook elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain well.
  4. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, whisk in flour to form a roux, then gradually add warmed milk until smooth. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
