A Little ASMR for Mac and Cheese Lovers 🧀

1. Preheat oven to 360 F and grease 9x13 pan.
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions.
3. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sprinkle in flour and whisk to combine. Mixture will look like very wet sand. Cook for 1 minute, whisking often.
4. Slowly pour in the half and half, while whisking constantly, until smooth. Then, add heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Continue to heat over MED heat, whisking very often, until thickened to a very thick consistency.
5. Remove from the heat and stir in spices and 4 cups of cheese until completely melted and smooth.
6. Add cooked pasta to 9x13 pan. Combine drained pasta with cheese sauce, stirring to combine fully. Top with 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheeses and bread crumbs.
7. Bake for 15 minutes, then broil for 3-5 minutes until cheese is bubbly and lightly golden brown.
8. Enjoy!!!
