Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions. Drain and reserve.
• Add the butter to a medium Dutch oven and melt over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour and keep whisking until roux is a light brown color, about 2 minutes. Slowly add the milk, whisking, until it thickens. Stir in the cheese, garlic powder, cayenne, ground mustard and some salt until cheese is melted. Fold in the broccoli and the drained pasta and stir to combine.

• Top with desired garnish. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Microwave broccoli florets in a large, microwave safe bowl according to package instructions until tender (usually 4-5 minutes). Drain off any water and set aside. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add elbow macaroni. Boil according to directions until al dente. Drain. Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk to form a paste (roux). Cook 1-2 minutes to eliminate raw flour taste. Slowly pour in milk, whisking briskly to remove lumps. Continue cooking over medium heat, whisking constantly, until milk mixture thickens. Remove from heat and whisk in shredded cheese. Add salt to taste. Add drained macaroni back to pot. Pour cheese sauce over macaroni, add broccoli, and stir to combine. Devour.

Steps:

• In a large pot or skillet, combine the macaroni, broccoli, milk, salt and garlic powder. Add 3 cups of water, and stir to combine. (The pasta may not be fully submerged. That's OK!) Bring to an active simmer over medium-high. Reduce the heat to medium to gently simmer. Cook, stirring often to ensure even cooking and to keep things from sticking to the bottom of the pot, until the pasta is tender, and the liquid resembles heavy cream and coats the noodles, 8 to 12 minutes. If the liquid evaporates so much that you don't see any between noodles, add 1/2 cup water. Adjust the heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer.
• Remove from heat and stir in the Cheddar. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Eat!
