Sometimes I want Mac & cheese and didn’t want to make a large pan so I used an 8x8 and it still tastes great!

Steps

1

Cook your noodles according to al dente on the box. While the noodles are cooking, make your roux: melt butter over medium heat and whisk flour until there are no more clumps. Slowly whisk in heavy cream.
2

Optional: when draining noodles, run under warm water to prevent sticking and add extra butter.
3

Add seasonings and mix. Shred 1/2 block of cheddar and the 1/2 block of your other cheese, whisk until melted.
4

Place noodles in baking dish, add cheese mixture. Shred the rest of your cheddar cheese on top. If you would like a crispier top spread smoked paprika on top & black pepper(I only did it on half). Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
