Ingredients
– 1 pound elbow macaroni
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 cups whole milk
– 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
– 1 pound cooked lobster meat, chopped
– 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and bubbling.
4. Gradually whisk in the milk and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

6. Add the cooked macaroni and lobster meat to the cheese sauce, and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
7. Transfer the mixture to a 9×13-inch baking dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
8. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
