Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
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 the macaroni and set aside.

2
Prepare the cheese sauce

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the all-purpose flour and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually pour in the milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Cook, stirring often, until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.

3
Add cheese and seasonings

Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the grated cheddar cheese and half of the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.

4
Combine macaroni and cheese sauce

Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir well to coat evenly.

5
Transfer to baking dish

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the macaroni and cheese mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish.

6
Add topping and bake

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the remaining grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the mac and cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly.

7
Let cool and serve

Remove the Mac n' Cheese from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving hot.
