Velveeta Macaroni and Cheese Recipe - Creamy & Delicious!
The creamy, cheesy, velvety goodness you remember from your childhood, is everything that makes up this Old School From Scratch Velveeta Macaroni and Cheese Recipe. Every bite is cheesy deliciousness!
Yep, I went old-school today. The letter was V. It wasn't like there was a plethora of choices – I mean, sure – Velvet Cake – but I have that coming soon for something else.
Then, Vanilla something, but I couldn't think what Vanilla I wanted to make.
After combing through some magazines, I finally remembered a recipe card I had that my grandmother gave me, what seems like a million years ago.
It fits perfectly with the letter V and I am happy. So were my kids. We are a house of Velveeta Macaroni and Cheese lovers.
This was the first time I made it for my step daughters, and my own children remembered eating it several times when they were much younger.
Yes, my tastes have stepped off a little from this simple recipe.
Still there is nothing like coming back to a creamy, delicious reminder of your childhood. Nothing.
Let's Make Old School Velveeta Macaroni and Cheese! Stat!
It's easy, creamy and ridiculously delicious. A comfort food like no other! It's my go-to recipe when I want something comforting for not a lot of work!
Are you ready to make up some Old School Velveeta Macaroni and Cheese?
Creamy, rich and cheesy. Three words that perfectly describe this delicious Velveeta Macaroni and Cheese recipe.
Drain the water but keep ¼ cup or so in the bottom of the pot. Add 1 stick of butter, the can of evaporated milk and the Velveeta cheese.
Sprinkle some salt and pepper in there. (if you're like us, you'll sprinkle loads of pepper and barely and salt, because for some reason it just tastes better that way).
Heat the pot on medium until the cheese is completely melted and blended in.
Remove from heat and allow to sit for about 5 minutes. Stir and serve.
It will get thicker the longer it sits, enjoy!!
Do you like Velveeta Macaroni and Cheese as much as we do?
I remember this one, too. Good comfort food.
Kickin' it old school…awwwww, yeah.
This is all I ate for years…throughout my entire late teens. I will STILL make myself the stuff from the box occasionally, but why do that when Nicole has shared this recipe with me???
The family is going to love me. More.
MMMM mac and cheese is one of my favorite foods and this is making me hungry.
I just bought Velveeta for the first time (I know!) my husband is still a little frightened of the cheese-food plasticity Velveeta offers. So I have half a chunk left to use. How is this recipe with reduced butter? Is it just less creamy?
I make this a lot! But I use shredded cheddar and one egg instead of the velveeta. Velveeta kind of scares me.
This sounds so very easy. Can't wait to try it. I am trying different ideas now for a pot luck I committed to in October. I have always loved Velveeta so can't wait to try it.
What does the evaporated milk provide? Do you think I could use regular milk? How might it be different? Thank you!
It provides the creaminess and texture of the Old School Velveeta Macaroni and Cheese. You could totally use regular milk, but it may not be as creamy. Evaporated milk has most of the water removed unlike actual milk, making it a more creamy alternative. Hope that helps.
I grew up on a farm, one of 7 children. My Mom used to make this for us and added chunks of ham. This is old fashioned comfort food! I substitute heavy cream for the evaporated milk. For New Years, I added lobster meat!
Thank you for the old school Mac & Cheese recipe. I enjoyed reading the recipe and looking at the yummy pictures. It looks delicious!!! Definitely, I will give it a shot.
Once again thank you very much for the great recipe!!! Happy cooking.
