Method

Preparing the Macaroni

  1. 1

    Cook the Macaroni

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

Making the Cheese Sauce

  1. 2

    Make a Roux

    In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it turns a light golden color.

  2. 3

    Add Milk

    Slowly whisk in the milk, making sure to eliminate any lumps. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and bubbles, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 4

    Add Cheese and Spices

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

Combining and Serving

  1. 5

    Combine Macaroni and Cheese Sauce

    Add the drained macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until well combined.

  2. 6

    Prepare Toppings

    In separate bowls, arrange the bacon bits, chopped green onions, and bread crumbs for guests to add to their macaroni and cheese.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Spoon the macaroni and cheese into bowls and let guests top their servings with their choice of toppings.
