Cooking Instructions

1

Cook the Pasta

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2

Make the Cheese Sauce

In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until bubbly. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Add salt, black pepper, and paprika.

3

Add Cheese

Remove the pot from heat and stir in the sharp cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.

4

Combine Pasta and Sauce

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

5

Prepare for Baking

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mac and cheese to a greased baking dish and sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top.

6

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.

7

Serve

Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy cheddar mac n' cheese!
