Ingredients

• 2 cups elbow macaroni

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook the macaroni according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk to form a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
3. Gradually pour in the milk while whisking constantly. Continue cooking and whisking until the sauce thickens.
4. Reduce the heat to low and add in the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
5. Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce, stirring to coat each noodle evenly.
6. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors. If the sauce seems too thick, you can add a bit more milk.
