Mac-n-Cheese Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Macaroni

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add 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 butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for about 1 minute until bubbly. Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly until thickened.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Remove the pot from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until cheese is melted and smooth. Add the cooked macaroni and mix well.

  4. 4

    Prepare for Baking

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spoon the mac-n-cheese mixture into individual serving cups or a baking dish.

  5. 5

    Add Topping

    In a small bowl, mix bread crumbs with paprika. Sprinkle the mixture over the mac-n-cheese cups.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
