Mac and Cheese Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the macaroni

    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.

  2. 2

    Make the cheese sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden. Gradually whisk in the milk, and continue stirring until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add cheese and spices

    Remove the saucepan 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.

  4. 4

    Combine and serve

    Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until well coated. Serve hot with a side of chips or apple slices.
