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.

Time 55m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

24 ounces macaroni
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup flour
4 cups milk
16 ounces Velveeta cheese (sometimes I use even more)
1 pinch white pepper or 1 pinch black pepper
1 -2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Prepare macaroni according to package directions.
  • Melt butter in a large pan.
  • Whisk flour into melted butter to create a light roux (paste).
  • Slowly whisk milk into the roux, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
  • Allow milk and roux to heat for about one minute, then begin adding the Velveeta.
  • Continue to gently whisk the mixture until all Velveeta has melted, then add a pinch of white or black pepper.
  • After macaroni has cooked, drain the water from the pot and mix in the cheese sauce.
  • Once the macaroni and sauce are mixed together, transfer to a 9 x 13 baking dish.
  • Cook uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until bubbly.
  • Sprinkle 1 or 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the top and bake for 5 more minutes, or until cheddar cheese is thoroughly melted.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Provided by á-470

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (8-ounce) package elbow macaroni
2 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons flour
1 3/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
8 ounces Velveeta, cubed
1/3 cup bread crumbs
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 small onion, minced, optional
3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled, optional

Steps:

  • Cook macaroni as directed on package and drain. Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a heavy saucepan. Blend in flour, stir in milk slowly, and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Add salt, pepper, and cheese, stirring until cheese is melted. Add macaroni as well as minced onion and bacon if using and transfer to a buttered 1 quart casserole or individual casseroles. Combine bread crumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle over macaroni. Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of sharp cheddar cheese and Velveeta cheese for a creamy and flavorful sauce.
  • Cook the macaroni noodles according to the package directions, but drain them a minute or two before they are fully cooked so that they don't become mushy in the casserole.
  • Add a little bit of Dijon mustard to the cheese sauce for a tangy flavor.
  • Top the casserole with crushed Ritz crackers or bread crumbs before baking for a crispy topping.
  • Bake the casserole until the cheese sauce is bubbly and the macaroni noodles are tender.
