Instructions
Cook the Macaroni
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Add Cheese
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses until melted. Add salt, black pepper, and paprika to taste.
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and mix well to combine. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more milk to reach desired consistency.
Prepare for Baking
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the macaroni and cheese mixture into a greased baking dish. Top with breadcrumbs.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Serve
Remove from oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then serve warm.
