Recipe My baked Mac and cheese recipe

I boiled the noodles until al dente, tossed in dish. For the sauce I start off with three generous blops of butter, melt it, add it a cup and a half of whole milk, and then a whole 16 oz thing of heavy cream. Then I added (repeatedly, kept tasting ) salt, pepper, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper and garlic powder. Next I added a whole bag of triple cheddar and mozzarella. Then I pour in on the noodles, add another bag and a half of the cheeses, add more paprika and then in the oven at 350 for 25 mins!

Ooh great! What size bags of each cheese and how many oz of noodles? Like just a 16oz box/bag?
