Let’s dive into the deliciousness! Here’s the perfect blend of ingredients to create a mouthwatering mac and cheese that will leave you wanting more.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook the elbow macaroni in boiling salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute to create a roux.
4. Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle simmer.
5. Reduce the heat and stir in the cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, mustard powder, salt, and pepper until the cheese has fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
6. Add the cooked macaroni into the cheese sauce and mix well to ensure all pasta is coated evenly.
7. If you like a crispy topping, transfer the mac and cheese to a baking dish and sprinkle breadcrumbs on top.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
9. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Really Cheesy Mac and Cheese!
