Introduction: Start with a warm introduction about the popularity of macaroni and cheese as a comfort food. Mention its versatility and how everyone has their own version of this classic dish.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups elbow macaroni
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: breadcrumbs for topping

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Pasta:

    • Boil water in a large pot and cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. Make the Cheese Sauce:
