Indulge in the ultimate comfort food tonight with the rich, savory flavors of venison sausage and creamy cheese.

1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

2

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.

3

While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the venison sausage. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.

4

In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes to create a roux.

5

Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring constantly for about 5-7 minutes, until the sauce thickens.

6

Stir in the cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, mixing until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.

7

Once the pasta is done, drain it and add it to the skillet with the venison sausage, mixing well.

8

Pour the cheese sauce over the pasta and sausage mixture, stirring to combine everything evenly.

9

Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and sprinkle the bread crumbs over the top.

10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
