Ingredients:
Instructions:
In a large pot, cook the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it turns into a smooth paste.
Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid any lumps. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the pot, reserving a small amount for topping if desired. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Season the cheese sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the cooked macaroni to the pot and stir until it is well coated with the cheese sauce.
If desired, top the mac and cheese with the reserved shredded cheese, crispy bacon bits, chopped scallions, or breadcrumbs.
Serve hot and enjoy the creamy and cheesy stovetop mac and cheese!
You can adjust the flavor by adding different spices like paprika, garlic powder, or mustard powder to the cheese sauce. Feel free to experiment and make it your own!
