1
Cook the Pasta
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2
Make the Cheese Sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until it's bubbly.
3
Add Milk and Cheese
Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens. Add the cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
4
Combine and Bake
Combine the cooked macaroni with the cheese sauce and mix well. Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and sprinkle the cracker crumbs on top.
5
Bake
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
