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 Cheese Sauce

    In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbly. Gradually add the milk while continuously whisking to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese and Seasonings

    Remove the pot from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and mustard powder, mixing well.

  4. 4

    Combine Pasta and Cheese Sauce

    Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce, stirring until the pasta is thoroughly coated.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve hot, and enjoy your creamy macaroni and cheese!
