Southern Macaroni and Cheese ### Ingredients

1 pound elbow macaroni
4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 cups milk
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup butter (unsalted)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup breadcrumbs (optional for topping)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook the macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour, garlic powder, and onion powder, and cook for about 1 minute until smooth.
Gradually whisk in the milk and bring to a simmer, continuing to whisk until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
Mix the cooked macaroni into the cheese sauce. If you like your macaroni and cheese creamier, add in the sour cream and mix until well combined.
Transfer the macaroni and cheese to a greased baking dish. If desired, sprinkle breadcrumbs on top for an added crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade Southern Macaroni and Cheese!
