Classic Mac and Cheese
Ingredients
  • 1 (8 ounce) box elbow macaroni
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
1
Boil a large container of salted water until it reaches its maximum temperature. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring periodically to prevent scorching until it reaches a tender yet slightly resistant texture, 8 minutes.
2
Simultaneously, heat butter in a saucepan over a moderate flame.
3
Combine flour, salt, and pepper, stirring until the mixture forms a uniform consistency, approximately 5 minutes.
4
Gradually pour milk into the saucepan while continuously stirring to avoid lumps, continuing to cook and stir until the mixture is smooth and bubbly, approximately 5 minutes, ensuring that the milk does not overcook or burn.
5
Add Cheddar cheese and stir until it has fully melted, 2 to 4 minutes.
6
Drain the cooked macaroni and combine it with the cheese sauce, stirring until the pasta is evenly coated.
7
Serve the macaroni hot and indulge in its delicious flavors!
