Ingredients
- Macaroni pasta
- 8 ounces
- Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons
- All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons
- Milk
- 2 cups
- White cheddar cheese
- 2 cups, shredded
- Truffle oil
- 2 tablespoons

Instructions
- Begin by cooking the macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, stir in the all-purpose flour to create a roux, stirring continuously for about 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
- Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps remain. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens and reaches a gentle simmer.
- Lower the heat and add the shredded white cheddar cheese to the sauce, stirring until fully melted and smooth. Enhance the flavor by mixing in the truffle oil, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Fold the cooked macaroni into the cheese sauce, mixing thoroughly until every piece is well-coated.
- Cook the hot dogs using your preferred method—grilling, boiling, or pan-frying—until heated through and slightly crispy on the outside.
- To assemble, place each hot dog in a bun and generously top with the creamy truffle mac and cheese. Serve immediately for the best experience.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider incorporating crispy bacon bits or sautéed mushrooms into the mac and cheese.
- You can substitute the white cheddar with a blend of your favorite cheeses for a unique taste.
- For a spicier kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the cheese sauce.
