Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    Reduce heat to low and stir in the sharp cheddar cheese and cream cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

  4. 4

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce, stirring to coat all the pasta evenly.

Topping and Baking

    Prepare for Baking

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mac and cheese to a greased baking dish.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and additional shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the mac and cheese.

  3. 7

    Bake
