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

Cook the Macaroni

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens.

Make the Cheese Sauce

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and paprika until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

Add Cheese and Seasoning

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni and cheese sauce. Transfer to a greased baking dish and sprinkle bread crumbs on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and bubbly.
