The Best Macaroni & Cheese EVER

I have made this for years! Madeline just adores it and asks for it often. It is much better than the one in the blue box! I also make for holidays so that I have something I know the kids will love. Sorry, health nuts…it’s only real Velveeta for this one! Sorry!!!

1 cup uncooked macaroni

1/2 stick or 1/4 cup butter

1/4 cup flour

2 cups milk

8 oz. Velveeta

salt and pepper to taste

 

1. Preheat oven to 350.

2. Boil Macaroni for 9 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour to make a paste. Gradually whisk in the milk. Bring to a simmer, whisking, until thickened, about a minute. Add the cheese, salt and pepper until smooth.

4. Stir the cooked macaroni into the cheese sauce. Transfer to a 2 quart baking dish.

5. Bake, uncovered, until bubbly…20-25 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

 

Simple!

I will make this for the rest of my life! :-) I’m noticing a trend here!
