Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces elbow macaroni
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  2. Melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
  3. Stir in the flour, garlic powder, and onion powder, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
