Instructions
- 1
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and cook the dry macaroni for 7 to 8 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, then drain and return it to the warm pot.
- 2
Set the pot over low heat and add the 4 tablespoons butter, stirring until it melts and coats the noodles completely.
- 3
Pour in the 1/3 cup milk and the powdered cheese packet, stirring vigorously for about 1 minute until a smooth, glossy sauce forms.
- 4
Add the 1 cup shredded cheddar a handful at a time, stirring continuously off the heat so the cheese melts evenly without clumping or breaking.
- 5
Season with the garlic powder and black pepper, taste and adjust salt, then serve immediately while the sauce is at its creamiest.
