1
Cook the Macaroni
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2
Make the Cheese Sauce
In the same pot, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for about 1 minute until bubbly. Gradually whisk in milk and continue stirring until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
3
Add Cheese and Seasonings
Remove the pot from heat and stir in shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
4
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce, stirring until well combined. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more milk to reach desired consistency.
5
Serve
Serve warm, optionally garnished with extra cheese or breadcrumbs.
