Ingredients

8 ounces elbow macaroni
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
1 tablespoon butter (for topping)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until it turns a light golden color.
Gradually add the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella until completely melted and smooth.
Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce, mixing well to coat all the pasta.
Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
If you want a crispy topping, pour the mac and cheese into a baking dish. In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with melted butter and sprinkle on top of the mac and cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown on top.
Let it cool for a few minutes and then serve warm. Enjoy your creamy, cheesy masterpiece!
