Cook the macaroni according to packaged instructions. Drain, rinse and set aside.

While whisking, slowly pour in the milk. Once smooth add the cheeses and spices. Stir until smooth.
In a large bowl, mix the macaroni and cheese sauce until all the noodles are covered in some sauce. Spread the mac and cheese in a casserole dish.
In a small bowl mix the melted butter and bread crumbs together until there is a dry and crumbly texture. Stir in the 1/2 cup of grated cheddar. Spread the crumb topping evenly across the macaroni and cheese.
