Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 3 quart baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Cook the pasta according to package directions; drain; set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter; whisk in the flour; cook for about 2 minutes.
Pouring very slowly while whisking the flour/butter mixture, add the milk; stir to work out lumps. Add the seasoned salt and pepper; stir. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer; simmer for about 2 minutes.
Add the shredded cheeses in a large bowl.
Break up the American cheese slices; add to milk/flour/butter mixture with 1 1/4 c. shredded cheese mixture. Reserve some of the shredded cheese mixture for the top of the pulled pork mac and cheese dish.
Once cheese is melted, remove from the heat.
Toss the cooked pasta in the cheese sauce mixture; stir to coat all the pasta.
Pour the pasta/cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Top with the shredded pulled pork; sprinkle the reserved shredded cheese mixture over everything.
Bake the uncovered dish for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
If wanting a crispy top, place dish under the broiler until desired crispness is achieved. Make sure to watch and not burn the pulled pork mac and cheese dish.
