Ingredients

Alright, ingredient lovers, here’s what you’ll need to conjure up this mac and cheese magic:

8 oz elbow macaroni
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 cups milk
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp paprika (optional, for that extra zing!)

Instructions

Are you ready to get your hands a little cheesy? Here’s how to make this crowd-pleaser:

First, cook your elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once it’s doing the happy melt dance, stir in the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. Keep stirring for about 2 minutes until it forms a roux—now that’s what we want!
Slowly pour in the milk while whisking (no lumps allowed!). Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture is thick and bubbly. Trust the process!
Now, it’s cheese time! Add in the cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until everything is melted and creamy, because who doesn’t love a cheesy hug?
Mix the cooked macaroni into the cheese sauce. Make sure every single noodle is coated in that lip-smacking goodness.
If you want to take this to the next level, you can place the mac and cheese in a baking dish, sprinkle extra cheese on top, and broil it until bubbly and golden brown—yum!
Serve it up warm and watch the smiles bloom! Your cheesy creation is now ready to be devoured.

There you have it! John’s legendary mac and cheese will surely become your new go-to recipe. Grab a spoon, dig in, and enjoy every gooey bite!
