VELVEETA ULTIMATE MACARONI AND CHEESE



Velveeta Ultimate Macaroni and Cheese image

I got this off a box of Velveeta Cheese when I saw it made on Good Morning America. The recipe is exact, i haven't changed it. I usually buy the large block of Velveeta cheese and store any unused cheese in ziploc bags, so I'm forever searching for the recipe. It's easy and fast. My family swears it tastes just like KFC! You can also put the Macaroni and Cheese in a greased casserole dish and make a topping out of 1 sleeve of crushed Ritz Crackers and 1 stick of melted butter. Combine and then sprinkle on top of casserole. Bake in 350 degree oven till top is golden brown.

VELVEETA BAKED MACARONI & CHEESE



Velveeta Baked Macaroni & Cheese image

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.

Here are some tips to make the best Velveeta Down Home Mac and Cheese:

Tips:

  • Use a good quality Velveeta cheese. A higher quality Velveeta cheese will have a more flavorful and creamy sauce.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. The pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and bland.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. In addition to Velveeta, you can also use cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, or any other type of cheese that you like. Using a variety of cheeses will give your mac and cheese a more complex flavor.
  • Add some vegetables. Vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, or carrots can add some extra flavor and nutrients to your mac and cheese.
  • Season your mac and cheese to taste. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good seasonings for mac and cheese. You can also add other seasonings, such as cayenne pepper or paprika, to taste.
