Growing up we never had boxed mac & cheese, but macaroni & cheese was a regular side dish at home.
Mom always made it this way and its how I usually make it, I do sometimes make the more complicated kind with a white sauce, several kinds of stringy cheeses, baked in the oven with bread crumbs on top, but seriously these are so good and SO simple I don't know why I would ever do it differently.
You only dirty one pot, really its not really different from boxed mac & cheese, you boil the macaroni, drain and add some stuff.
easy peasy!!
Start with 4 simple ingredients, (oops I forgot the salt & pepper)but this is all you will need.
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups macaroni (uncooked)
1 cup milk
12 oz. Velveeta cheese
1/4 cup butter
salt & pepper to taste
boil macaroni as directed on box, drain, but do not rinse, add butter, milk and Velveeta, salt & pepper, cover and heat on low heat till cheese is melted.
ENJOY
