Macaroni and Cheese Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    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.

  2. 2

    Make the Roux

    In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 1 minute until the mixture is bubbly and golden.

  3. 3

    Add Milk

    Slowly pour in the milk while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens (about 3-5 minutes).

  4. 4

    Incorporate Cheese

    Reduce heat to low and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until completely melted and smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

  5. 5

    Combine Pasta and Cheese Sauce

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

  6. 6

    Optional Topping

    If desired, pour the macaroni and cheese into a baking dish, sprinkle breadcrumbs on top, and broil for 2-3 minutes until the topping is golden brown.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade macaroni and cheese!
