**Macattack**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 pound elbow macaroni
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 cups whole milk
– 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
– 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 cup breadcrumbs
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Cook the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden brown.
4. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid any lumps. Allow the mixture to simmer and thicken for about 5 minutes.
5. Stir in the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, allowing them to melt and create a smooth cheese sauce. Season the sauce with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
6. Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce, stirring until well coated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
7. In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with olive oil until well combined. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the macaroni and cheese.
8. Bake the Macattack in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden and the cheese is bubbly.
9. Once done, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
