Cooking the Macaroni:
To begin, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add some salt to the boiling water and cook the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions, until al dente. Once cooked, drain the macaroni and set it aside.
Making the Cheese Sauce:
In a separate saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add in the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for about one minute until well combined. This will create a roux.
Add in the milk gradually while whisking constantly until you have a smooth mixture. Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens and starts bubbling.
Add in the salt and black pepper, adjusting the amounts to your taste preferences. Stir well to incorporate the seasonings into the sauce.
Reduce the heat to low and add in the Velveeta cheese cubes. Stir continuously until all the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and velvety.
Combining the Macaroni and Cheese Sauce:
Add the cooked macaroni to the pot of cheese sauce. Gently fold and stir until all the macaroni is evenly coated with the creamy cheese sauce.
