Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces elbow macaroni
  • 5 tbsp butter
  • 4 tbsp flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp ground pepper
  • 3 cups cheddar cheese shredded
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Pour in milk and cream while whisking.

The heavy cream really gives the cheese sauce a nice thickness to stick to the pasta.

  • Bring mixture to a boil and boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Reduce heat to low and continue to stir for 10 minutes.
  • Take mixture off heat.
  • Add macaroni noodles to cheese sauce and coat well.

Look at how it just coats it so well. When baked, the macaroni and cheese is still super cheesy and melty, the best type!

  • Place in a lightly buttered baking dish and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
  • Bake 25 minutes or until top is golden.

The perfect side dish for a turkey or ham dinner.
