Steps

1

Melt butter in a saucepan and add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook the onion and garlic for about 5-7 minutes until tender.
2

Add flour and whisk until all the lumps have disappeared. Cook this mixture for about 4-5 minutes. Make sure to constantly stir so it does not scorch.
3

Add salt, pepper, and the milk to the roux (flour and butter) while whisking. Whisk until smooth.
4

Add the yellow cheddar. Cook until all cheese has melted. Add the cooked macaroni.
5

Place the mac and cheese in an oven-safe serving dish and top with the shredded white cheddar. Cook in the oven (325˚) until the cheese has melted and the edges have browned.
