Grate cheddar

Prepare the pasta according to package directions.

Pre heat your milk in the microwave for 45 seconds – just enough to take the chill out of it.

Melt butter in a sauce pan over medium heat and let it heat until it becomes foamy.

Mix in flour. Cook it for a minute while stirring constantly

Slowly add warmed milk to the butter mixture 1/4 cup at a time. Whisk it continually until combined. Season generously with salt and fresh cracked pepper. Stir in Better Than Boullion

Once all of the milk is added, cook for a few minutes while whisking it. Do not let it boil. You will feel the sauce start to thicken. It’s ready for cheese when you rub a small amount between your fingers and it feels silky.

Add 1/2 of the grated cheddar and whisk the cheese mixture until the cheese is combined in the sauce.

Stir the pasta and cheese sauce together.

Spread the mac and cheese into an oven safe dish.

Combine 8 oz cream cheese with 4 oz of the grated cheddar. This should be about half of your remaining cheddar.

Spread cream cheese cheddar mixture across the top of the pasta. If it's difficult to spread, wait a few seconds the heat from the pasta should soften the mixture enough to make it spreadable.

Sprinkle remaining grated cheddar across the top of your dish.

Pop your mac and cheese in the oven until the cheese topping melts.
