– 1/2 lb or 226 gr of elbow macaroni – 1 cup heavy cream (or half and half) – 1 cup whole milk – 1/2 stick of butter – 1/4 cup of all purpose flour – 1 1/2 cups of sharp cheddar – 1 cups of mild cheddar – 1/2 tsp of salt – 1/2 tsp of pepper – 1/2 tsp smoked paprika – 1/4 tsp garlic powder – 1/4 cup sour cream

Ingredients 

Preheat oven to 375F or 190C. Boil macaroni noodles in about 5-6 cups of water until al dente. Strain macaroni and set aside.

Melt the butter. Whisk flour into the butter and cook for about 1 min. 

Add in half and half or heavy cream. Continue to stir periodically while on medium high heat. It will thicken when it comes to a boil.

Fold in cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and sour cream.

Reduce the heat to low and allow the cheese to melt down into a sauce for about 3 mins.

Add in the cooked pasta and mix completely.

Top with cheese and bake about 20 mins until golden brown and bubbly.
