Mac N’ Cheese Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 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. 2

   Make the Cheese Sauce

   In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk for about 1 minute until smooth and bubbly. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Cheese and Seasoning

   Remove the pot from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

4. 4

   Combine Pasta and Cheese Sauce

   Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until well combined. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more milk to reach desired consistency.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the mac n' cheese hot with fries or fresh fruit on the side.
