The Ultimate Creamy Baked Mac and Cheese Recipe

What’s better than a velvety, gooey macaroni swimming in a sea of luscious cheese? Right, nothing! So let’s get down to business and make this delectable dish that will make you the hero of every meal.

Creamy Baked Mac and Cheese ### Ingredients:

8 ounces elbow macaroni (because we like those cute little curves)
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (the sharper, the better!)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for that extra fancy vibe)
3 cups milk (whole, because we’re going big here!)
1/4 cup butter (or as I like to call it, flavor magic)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (to make things stick together)
1/2 teaspoon salt (because bland is not in this year)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (add a little sass!)
1/4 teaspoon paprika (to color outside the lines)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (for that crunch, baby!)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (that’s about the temperature of a hot summer day, minus the sunburn).
Cook the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente, because we don’t want mushy pasta, do we?
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until golden brown—think golden like your dreams of a perfect mac and cheese.
Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens—this is where the magic begins, folks.
Stir in the cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and paprika. Let it melt into a creamy bliss.
Combine the cooked macaroni with the cheese sauce. Mix it like you’re mixing your favorite dance moves!
Transfer the cheesy goodness into a baking dish, sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top, and bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
Pull it out, let it cool (if you can resist), and serve it up. Don’t forget to share, or at least pretend to!

And there you have it! The ultimate creamy baked mac and cheese that will have everyone begging for seconds—and thirds! Get ready for cheesy smiles and happy hearts around the dinner table!
