We have mentioned above that you need two different steps to cook this recipe. And you’ll have to cook the pork shoulder butt roast in the first phase. Later you’ll make teh Mac & Cheese. So, let’s begin-

Pork Shoulder Butt Roast

The easiest part of this recipe is to make the pulled pork. It requires simple ingredients mixing and cooking. Here’s how- 

Step-1

Take the pork shoulder butt roast and place it into a large-size slow cooker. And prepare other ingredients.

Now mix all the ingredients properly and add them to the pork shoulder butt roast.

Step-3

Once the pork shoulder butt roast is cooked well, transfer it to the cutting board. Let it cold for 10 minutes.

Baked Mac & Cheese 

This time, you have to make the MAC & Cheese. So, check out the process-

Step-1

In the very first phase, you must make teh roux. Because roux is the base of baked MAC & Cheese. It’s a thickening agent that will thicken up the dish. So, put a pan on the stove and give the butter to melt. Once the butter is melted, add all-purpose flour. Stir to mix well for 2 minutes. 

Step-2

Once the butter and flour are mixed well, add milk to the mixture and continue stirring. Bring the mixture to a boil and keep simmering until becomes thick. It will look like a thick white sauce. 

Step-3

Once the flour mixture is thick enough, add parmesan cheese and cheddar cheese. Continue stirring at medium-low heat and let the cheese mix well.

Step-4

Once the mixture is blended properly, add your macaroni to the mixture. And stir gently to mix them. This time it’s ready to bake. So, Transfer the macaroni mixture to a baking pan.

For Each Wrap-

Wheat Wrap/ Tortillas (20)

Pulled Pork (4 Oz)
