Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil 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. Add the flour and stir continuously for about 1 minute, until it forms a paste (roux). Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring until the mixture is smooth and thickened.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese and Seasoning

    Remove the pot from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Season with salt, black pepper, and optional spices to taste.

  4. 4

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

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

  5. 5

    Prepare for Baking

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mac and cheese to a greased baking dish and sprinkle the top with bread crumbs.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your mini mac n cheese!
