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

In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until it forms a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Cook for 3-5 minutes until thickened.

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