Velveeta Baked Macaroni & Cheese

Mac and cheese is one of the all-time comfort foods. When my kids' taste finally outgrew the boxed stuff, I came up with this recipe to satisfy their need for cheese (my daughter, in particular, is a cheese junkie). I'm sure this recipe contains influences from my Mother and Grandmother. It goes great with other comfort food staples like meatloaf, roast, pork roast, etc.

  1. This was great, I don't like Velveeta cheese and I still enjoyed it. This has helped me on my way to "mastering" mac and cheese!
     
  2. I loved this recipe. I used Velveeta Light and it still tasted delicious. Also, 1 cup of cheddar cheese was enough for us, but 2 cups would be good for a real cheese fanatic. This is a good make-ahead macaroni and cheese. Pop it in the oven 30 minutes before you're ready to serve.
     
  3. This was a surprise hit. I was sure I wasn't going to like any sauce made with Velveeta, but a large brick of it bought at a bargain price was sitting in my fridge so I needed to start using it. I was unsure of the amount of dry macaroni to use (I had a 900-gram bag), so I tried 5 1/4 cups ... but I think that was a tad too much and next time will use 4 cups. This recipe was very easy to prepare, came together quickly, and was a HUGE hit with both my husband and teenage son. I liked the mild creamy/cheesy sauce; it was very old-fashioned and definitely qualifies as comfort food. I substituted a few shakes of Tabasco for the white pepper; that was the only change I made. Thanks for the recipe, Mark!
     
  4. This was the very first time I ever made mac and cheez that did not come out of a blue box. I have never been too fond of the cut out chunk o'stuff that I had come to associate with homemade. I jumped into this with both feet and made it exactly as directed and WOW, great recipe. It was even better the next day with a little milk added. Thanks Mark!
     
  5. I have to admit, that of all of the mac & cheese recipes that we've tried, this is the first one that everyone loved. It has a great flavor to it. Good job, Mark. Knew I could count on you for a great recipe. Wish I had tried it sooner.
