  1. 1

    Cook the Macaroni

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the elbow 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 to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese and Seasoning

    Continue to cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until it thickens. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is creamy.

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

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