• 1 (8 ounce) package elbow macaroni
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 4 tablespoons flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup cream
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ground black pepper (to taste)
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• ½ cup breadcrumbs (buttered)

Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. Cook macaroni noodles and drain. Set aside.

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.

Add flour, salt, and pepper. Use a whisk to stir until well blended. Pour in the milk and cream stirring constantly.

Bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes while stirring. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes while stirring. Add cheddar, a little at a time and stir in until cheese melts. Remove from heat.

Add macaroni noodles to the saucepan and toss to coat with the cheese sauce. Transfer macaroni to a buttered baking dish.

Sprinkle buttered breadcrumbs over the top of the macaroni. Place into the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
