Ingredients
Pasta and Cheese
Cooking Instructions
1. Cook the Macaroni
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. Make the Cheese Sauce
In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly to create a roux.
3. Add Milk
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook and stir until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add Cheese and Seasonings
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
5. Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and mix well to combine.
6. Optional Breadcrumb Topping
If desired, transfer the macaroni and cheese to a baking dish, sprinkle breadcrumbs on top, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes until golden brown.
