### Ingredients
- 8 ounces gluten-free macaroni
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the gluten-free macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the gluten-free all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for about 1 minute to create a roux.
- Gradually add the milk to the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the pot from heat and stir in the sharp cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese. Mix until the cheese is completely melted.
- Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce, along with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is well combined.
- Transfer the macaroni and cheese mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the gluten-free breadcrumbs on top for a crunchy finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
