How to prepare it step by step?

Preparation

1. Bring a medium saucepan of generously salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, mustard powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
3. Drain the pasta in a colander. Place the empty saucepan over low heat and add the butter.
4. Add the flour mixture to the melted butter and cook, whisking frequently, until the mixture begins to brown.
5. Beat the milk and cream into the flour mixture until well combined. Cook until the sauce begins to thicken, then add the melted cheese.
6. Fold the cooked pasta into the cheese and spread it evenly on a lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm.
7. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Mix butter and garlic powder in a bowl.
8. Remove the macaroni and cheese from the refrigerator and cut into 8 equal pieces.
9. Spread one side of the bread with garlic butter, top with cheddar cheese, macaroni and cheese, and Colby Jack cheese, and top with the remaining bread.
10. Place the sandwiches in the skillet, cover and cook until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
11. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Cut the sandwiches in half and serve hot.
