soft, then add the minced garlic and chipotle in adobo sauce (add 2 tablespoon

3 Add the flour to the saucepan and stirring frequently begin to slowly add the
milk. Bring sauce to a simmer and then turn heat to very low and stir in your
cheeses.

macaroni. Remove from heat and cover to let the flavors to develop into the
macaroni while you toast the breadcrumbs.

over a hot skillet. Just barely toast until golden and be careful not to burn.
