A traditional Mac N Cheese that you can PUT ANY spin on!

Ingredients

• 12 oz Elbow Macaroni or the pasta of your choice
• 1/2 stick Unsalted Butter
• 3-4 TBSP All Purpose Flour
• 1/2 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
• 1/2 Cup Whole Milk
• 2-3 Cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese use any cheese you want!
• 1/4 Cup Grated parmesean
• to taste Coarse Salt
• to taste Coarse Black Pepper
• 1/2 Cup Bread Crumb Panko is always the best
• to taste granulated onion
• to taste granulated garlic powder

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350*
   
2. Bring a large pot of water to boil and add a generous amount of salt. Cook your pasta according to the Al Dente directions on the box as it will continue to cook in the oven.
   
3. While the pasta is cooking, melt your butter in the skillet. Cook the butter a little longer until its golden brown for a more intense flavor.
   
4. Once the butter is brown, add in the flour and whisk continuously until a rue starts to form.(1-3 mins)
   
5. Add in the milk and HWC and whisk to get rid of any lumps and now you can add in your seasonings. Bring to a boil until it starts to thicken like a gravy. Now WE ADD THE CHEESE! BE sure and reserve some of this cheese for the top!
   
6. Add in the pasta and stir until mixed well and top with the remaining cheddar and I also added some grated parmesan for the top!
   
7. Bake at 350* for 15-20 unit bubbly
   
8. I now add the Panko to the top and turn the broiler on for 5 mins or so until I get the crust I want on top.
