Macaroni & Cheese Ingredients

Method

Macaroni & Cheese Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook until the mixture thickens and bubbles.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese and Seasoning

    Remove the pot from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and mustard powder, mixing well.

  4. 4

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the drained macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until the pasta is well coated.

  5. 5

    Bake (optional)

    If using breadcrumbs, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the macaroni and cheese to a baking dish, sprinkle breadcrumbs on top, and bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven (if baked), let cool for a few minutes, and serve warm.
