are you making box velvetta mac & cheese?

No way. I'm making an effort today.

I have heard of the boxed kind of mac and cheese, but have never used it. I can't imagine using velvetta cheese in this dish.

The old fashioned way my grandmother made it was to put cooked roni in casserole dish. Place pieces or shredded cheese (used to be just cheddar) into roni, mix, add cream almost to top of dish. Add pieces of butter through out dish.....bake uncovered til it looks done......it was nice, creamy, and very stringy, just the way I like it.....



I make it with cheese sauce.....i.e, make white sauce, then add cheese or cheeses of your choice. When thick, add to cooked mac, add more shredded cheese, and add milk, or half and half, or cream to dish...I still use a little butter placed in pieces throughout mac and cheese...Bake uncovered until brown on top (approx 30 to 40 min at 350 degrees)....If you end up having a lot of cheese on top, you may want to cover dish until last 20 minutes or so....
