Mac & Cheese Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Macaroni

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 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 about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Continue to cook until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Cheese

   Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

4. 4

   Combine Pasta and Sauce

   Add the drained macaroni to the cheese sauce, stirring until evenly coated.

5. 5

   Prepare the Bread

   While the mac & cheese is baking, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the slices of bread with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden and crispy.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the mac & cheese hot with slices of house-made bread on the side.
