Ingredients

▢2-2½ cups low-sodium chicken broth (divided)
▢2-2½ cups whole milk or light cream (divided)
▢2 tablespoons salted butter
▢1 teaspoon chicken bouillon
▢¾ teaspoon salt
▢½ teaspoon hot sauce
▢¼ teaspoon pepper
▢3 cups dry macaroni (12oz or 345g)
▢1½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
▢1½ cups shredded Gruyère cheese

Instructions
In a large saucepan over medium heat, stir together 2 cups of the broth, 2 cups of the milk or cream, butter, bouillon, salt, hot sauce, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the uncooked macaroni. Cover and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring often, until al dente, adding more broth, milk or cream gradually if needed.

Stir in the Cheddar and Gruyère, until melted. If necessary, cover and let rest a few minutes off the heat to melt the cheese and then stir. If the sauce is too thick, gradually stir in additional broth, milk or cream, until it comes together.
Taste, adjust seasonings as desired, and serve.
