Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted 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. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens (about 5-7 minutes).

  3. 3

    Add Seasoning and Cheese

    Remove the pot from heat and stir in the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until well combined. If desired, you can add more cheese on top.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve warm, garnished with extra paprika or breadcrumbs if desired.
