Kids Mac & Cheese Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the Pasta

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Make the Cheese Sauce

   In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until lightly golden. Gradually add the milk while whisking to avoid lumps. Continue to cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Cheese and Seasonings

   Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

4. 4

   Combine and Serve

   Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and mix well. If desired, sprinkle bread crumbs on top for added texture. Serve warm.
