  6. To make the sauce, add the butter to a large saucepan over medium heat.
  7. Once the butter has melted, whisk in the flour.
  8. Add the milk in increments, whisking continuously, until it has all been incorporated.
  9. Once the sauce has thickened, add the garlic powder, mustard powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
  10. Add 1 cup grated cheddar, the Gruyère, and ½ cup mozzarella and mix until melted. Remove from the heat.
  11. Add the pasta to a large, oven-proof dish.
  12. Pour the cheese sauce over the top and mix well.
  13. Spread the barbecue pulled pork over the top of the macaroni and cheese.
  14. Add the remaining ½ cup cheddar and ½ cup mozzarella to the top.
  15. Bake for 20 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the top is golden.
  16. Serve.
