Ingredients

2 cups elbow macaroni

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 cups milk

2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

½ cup mozzarella cheese

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

Salt and black pepper to taste

Optional: paprika and chopped parsley for garnish


Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the macaroni until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.


Step 2: Make the Cheese Sauce

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously until the sauce becomes smooth and slightly thick.


Step 3: Add the Cheese

Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese until fully melted. Mix in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.


Step 4: Combine Everything

Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until every piece is coated in the creamy sauce.


Step 5: Serve

Enjoy immediately, or transfer to a baking dish, top with extra cheese, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes for a delicious golden crust.


Tips for the Best Mac and Cheese

Freshly shredded cheese melts more smoothly than pre-shredded cheese.

Don't overcook the pasta before mixing it with the sauce.

Add cooked bacon, broccoli, chicken, or jalapeños for extra flavor.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
