Ingredients
- 16 ounce elbow macaroni
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1 cup sharp white cheddar shredded (plus ½ cup for topping if desired)
- ½ cup gruyere cheese shredded
- 8 ounce cream cheese
- ¼ cup sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9 x 13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Cook noodles according to package directions until al dente.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Slowly add milk, whisking continuously. Add the seasonings and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough that it coats the back of a spoon.
- Add the cheeses and sour cream, stirring until melted. Immediately remove from heat.
- Mix together the sauce and noodles. Transfer to the baking dish and top with additional white cheddar cheese if desired.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the edges bubble.
