Cook the Pasta
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add elbow macaroni and cook until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Add Cheddar

Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the cooked pasta to the cheese sauce and mix until the pasta is well-coated.
Add Optional Ingredients
If using bacon, chicken, corned beef, or vegetables, fold them into the macaroni and cheese mixture at this point.
Bake (optional)
For a baked version, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Top with breadcrumbs if desired, and bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden.
