Traditional Macaroni and Cheese Casserole

To me this is the best Macaroni & Cheese,
this recipe is hands down the best.

Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) package macaroni

4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
1 cup cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup breadcrumbs, buttered

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Cook and drain macaroni
according to package directions; set aside.
In a large saucepan melt butter.
Add flour mixed with salt and pepper,
using a whisk to stir until well blended.
Pour milk and cream in gradually; stirring constantly.
Bring to boiling point
and boil 2 minutes (stirring constantly).
Reduce heat and cook
(stirring constantly) 10 minutes.
Add shredded cheddar little by little
and simmer an additional 5 minutes,
or until cheese melts.
Turn off heat.
Add macaroni to the saucepan
and toss to coat with the cheese sauce.
Transfer macaroni to a buttered baking dish.
Sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
Bake 20 minutes until the top is golden brown.
