Note
This recipe provides the base white sauce (béchamel). To complete the Macaroni & Cheese, you will need to add approximately 8-12 cups of shredded cheese (such as cheddar, gruyère, or a blend) and 1 pound of elbow macaroni.
For a crispier top, sprinkle with breadcrumbs or crushed crackers before baking.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
