Ultra-Creamy Sharp Cheddar Mac and Cheese
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients
8 oz (225 g) elbow macaroni
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 cup whole milk
2 cups freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese
½ tsp salt (or to taste)
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp garlic powder (optional)
¼ tsp paprika (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook until perfectly tender according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
In the same pot or a saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
Slowly pour in the milk while stirring continuously until fully combined.
Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese a handful at a time, stirring constantly until completely melted.
Continue stirring until the cheese sauce is smooth, silky, and creamy.
Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce.
Stir gently until every piece of macaroni is evenly coated with the creamy cheese sauce.
Let everything cook together for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and clings to the pasta.
Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika if using. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the rich, creamy, gooey sharp cheddar goodness in every bite.
Tip: For the creamiest texture, always shred your own cheddar cheese instead of using pre-shredded cheese, which contains anti-caking agents that can make the sauce less smooth.
