Mom's Favorite Baked Mac and Cheese image

This is a macaroni and cheese I first made 3 years ago when I was in California. When I got back to Texas I made it for my mom. This is now her favorite baked macaroni and cheese. She begs me to make it when I come to visit.

I'm not a huge fan of mac and cheese, but this recipe is amazing! The cheese sauce is so smooth and creamy, and the breadcrumb topping adds a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this again.
