Seafood Mac and Cheese


Ingredients


8 oz elbow macaroni
2 cups shredded seafood mix (shrimp, crab, scallops)
4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups milk
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional for topping)


Directions


1. Start by cooking the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for a minute or two to make a smooth roux.
3. Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken.
4. Add the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is creamy.
5. Gently fold the seafood mix and cooked macaroni into the cheesy sauce, making sure everything is nicely combined.
6. Pour the mixture into a baking dish. If you like a little crunch, sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top.
7. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden and everything is bubbling.
8. Let it cool just a tad before serving up a warm, comforting scoop.
