1
Cook the Macaroni
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
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, stirring constantly until it's a light golden color. Gradually whisk in the milk, and continue whisking until the mixture thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
3
Add Cheese and Seasoning
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until the cheese is completely melted.
4
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until the pasta is well coated.
5
Serve
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious mac and cheese!
