1
Cook the Pasta
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook until al dente, about 7-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2
Make the Cheese Sauce
In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until golden. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Add Cheeses
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the cheddar cheese and cream cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.
4
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Fold the cooked macaroni into the cheese sauce until well coated.
5
Prepare for Baking
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mac and cheese to a greased baking dish and sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly on top.
6
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
7
Serve
Remove from oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy mac and cheese!
