Best Mac n Cheese

First cook 1 lb of macaroni noodles in boiling water with one cup of chicken stock. Drain the noodles and set them aside.
In a large pot make a roux with 2 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp flour on medium heat. Let it thicken.
Then, add 1 cup milk and 1 cup chicken stock (weird I know, but it tastes great, trust me!)
Let that thicken.
Then add 4 oz of softened cream cheese. Stir the sauce so the cheese melts evenly.
When the cream cheese is fully melted and the sauce thickens a bit more add 4 cups of shredded cheddar cheese (a 16 oz block shreds into 4 cups) and stir so the cheddar melts.
When the cheddar cheese is melted, add the noodles to the sauce and stir to combine it evenly.
Then put the mac and cheese in a 13x9 pan and cover the top with shredded cheese. Put it in the oven on the broiler for 5 minutes to melt the cheese on top.
Serve it hot and enjoy!
