- ½ tsp. Paprika

Instructions
1. Preheat and Prep: Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. While it’s warming up, cook the elbow macaroni until it’s al dente, then drain well.

2. Make the Cheese Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt together ½ cup of milk and Velveeta until it’s smooth and creamy. Pour this cheesy goodness over the cooked macaroni and give it a good stir to combine.

3. Mix It Up: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and 1 cup each of the shredded cheeses. Pour this mixture over the macaroni and stir thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly combined.

4. Assemble the Dish: Grease a 9×13 baking dish and pour the macaroni mixture into it. Top with the remaining 1 cup of each shredded cheese for extra cheesiness.

5. Add the Crunch: Sprinkle some panko bread crumbs over the top for a delightful crunch.
6. Bake to Perfection: Pop the dish into the oven and bake for 25 minutes, until the top is golden and bubbly.
