I wanted to change up the Macaroni and Cheese vibes as we get closer to the holidays. Normally, when you go to a fancy steakhouse – you will notice that the Mac n Cheese looks nothing like traditional southern Mac n cheese. It’s decedent and usually creamier than traditional macaroni and cheese. This steakhouse Mac n cheese recipe combines 3 white cheese in a béchamel sauce and is topped with breadcrumbs (another classic topping used by most steakhouses in their Mac n cheese ). As always enjoy, and let me know what you think !
Ingredients
- 1 pound box of macaroni noodles (I used the Barilla Brand )

2.cook noodles “al dents” according to packaging , drain and set aside
3.In a large pot on medium heat, melt butter (do not allow it to brown)
4.Add flour, stirring constantly. Mixture should thicken
5. When it thickens add half and half, heavy cream , garlic powder , onion powder , and black pepper-stir/ whisk well
6. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes on medium while stirring
7. Add cheese in portions of 8 ounces at a time , stirring and whisking while adding the cheese- let it simmer while stirring 5 minutes (your sauce should be smooth and creamy)
8. Stir in noodles

10. Top with remaining white sharp cheddar cheese
11. Sprinkle bread crumbs
12. Bake 25-30 minutes or until browned to your liking
