Velveeta Mac and Cheese
Velveeta Mac and Cheese is comfort food bliss and checks all the boxes : one pot only, simple ingredients, and ready in only 20 minutes!
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Elbow macaroni uncooked
- 4 cups Milk whole or 2%
- 2 cups Water
- 8 ounces Velveeta cheese diced into small cubes
- 3 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons Salted butter
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard or dry mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper or to taste
Instructions
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, over medium-high heat, combine milk, water and macaroni. Bring to a gentle boil, reduce heat, and simmer uncovered until macaroni is al dente, about 8-12 minutes. It’s okay if it looks like there is excess liquid in the pot. It’s needed to help melt the cheeses, butter and seasoning.
- Remove pot from heat and stir in the Velveeta, sharp cheddar, butter, Dijon and seasonings. Stir until the cheese melts. Add another splash of milk if needed. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve immediately. This dish is best served warm and fresh.
Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store in the freezer for up to three months. Reheat leftovers in the microwave or on the stovetop. This dish thickens as it cools so you may need to add a splash of milk when reheating.
