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

Cook the Pasta

In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until bubbly. Gradually add the milk while whisking continuously until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Make the Cheese Sauce

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

Add Cheese

Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until the pasta is well coated.

Combine Pasta and Sauce

If you prefer baked mac & cheese, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mac & cheese to a baking dish and sprinkle with bread crumbs and optional additional cheese.

Prepare for Baking (Optional)

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.

Bake

Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy mac & cheese!
