Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the macaroni

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

  2. 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 continuously to form a roux.

  3. 3

    Add milk

    Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Incorporate cheese and seasonings

    Once thickened, remove the pot from heat and stir in the cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Add garlic powder, black pepper, and salt to taste.

  5. 5

    Combine macaroni and cheese sauce

    Add the cooked macaroni noodles to the cheese sauce, stirring until the noodles are evenly coated.
