Method
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the elbow macaroni and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the shredded white cheddar cheese until melted.
- Add the Dijon mustard, garlic powder, nutmeg, and season with salt and pepper.
- Add the cooked pasta to the cheese sauce and stir until well coated.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For an extra cheesy flavor, mix in a bit of grated Parmesan along with the cheddar.
