macaroni recipe-How did you make this

Macaroni and cheese is a classic comfort food that is beloved by many. It's a simple dish that can be made with just a few ingredients, but there are a few tricks to making it truly delicious. In this recipe, we'll go over how to make a creamy and flavorful macaroni and cheese that will be sure to satisfy your cravings.


Ingredients:


1 lb elbow macaroni


4 tbsp butter


4 tbsp flour


4 cups milk


1 tsp salt


1/2 tsp black pepper


1/4 tsp garlic powder


1/4 tsp onion powder


1/4 tsp paprika


2 cups shredded cheddar cheese


1/2 cup breadcrumbs


2 tbsp melted butter


Instructions:


Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).


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


In the same pot, melt 4 tbsp of butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk together until the mixture is smooth and bubbly.


Gradually add the milk to the pot, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Cook the mixture for about 5 minutes or until it thickens, stirring frequently.


Add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to the pot and stir until well combined.


Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the pot and stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.


Add the cooked macaroni to the pot and stir until the macaroni is well coated with the cheese sauce.


Transfer cheese and macaroni to a large baking dish.


In a separate bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and 2 tbsp of melted butter. Mix well.


Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the cheese and macaroni.


Bake the macaroni and cheese for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.


Let the macaroni and cheese cool for a few minutes before serving.


Tips:


For a more indulgent version of this recipe, you can add cooked bacon, sliced jalapeños, or diced tomatoes to the macaroni and cheese before baking.


To make this recipe gluten-free, you can substitute the flour with a gluten-free flour blend and use gluten-free macaroni.


If you want to make this recipe ahead of time, you can prepare the macaroni and cheese up to step 8 and store it in the fridge until you're ready to bake it. When you're ready to bake, simply sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top and bake as directed.


To reheat leftovers, simply place them in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 15-20 minutes or until heated through.
