Ingredients

8 oz (225g) egg noodles
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp paprika (optional)

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Gradually whisk in milk and cream. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Reduce heat to low. Add shredded cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, and paprika (if using). Stir until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.
Add cooked noodles to the cheese sauce and toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately.

Tips

For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or mustard powder to the sauce.
Use freshly shredded cheese for best melting results.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of milk.
