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.

Categories     Cheese

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.

  • 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.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to ensure that the macaroni and cheese has enough room to cook evenly.
  • Cook the macaroni according to the package directions, then drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and celery and cook until softened about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, or until the mixture is golden brown.
  • Gradually whisk in the milk and chicken broth until the mixture is smooth.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until thickened.
