Velveeta Mac 'n Cheese -- updated 28 Jan 2018

Last month was just too crazy to get much posting done here, my apologies.  Even though December is also quite busy, I'm determined to find at least a little time to write some posts--I have done some cooking and need to catch up!
This recipe is much like what my mom used to make, just with a different method that my husband introduced to me.  It's comfort food, perfect for a chilly winter night :)


Update: I have found that the amount of milk needed to be modified, as well as the cooking directions.  I also want to note that Lucerne brand of processed cheese is nearly as good as Velveeta and melts just as well.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 c. dry macaroni (or in this case, fiori shaped pasta)
8 oz. Velveeta 2% milk cheese (or regular, if you prefer more calories lol), cubed (use a cheese slicer)
1/2 T. margarine or butter
3/4 c. milk (I used skim)
salt, to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare macaroni/pasta according to package directions.

2. Place cubed Velveeta, margarine, milk, and salt in a microwave-safe bowl.


3. Cover bowl and microwave on high for 2 minutes, then remove and stir.  Repeat this process one more time. After the final time, stir until mixture combines and becomes a smooth sauce.

4. Add cooked macaroni/pasta to bowl and stir to combine until all noodles are covered with sauce.

5. Dip up a bowl and enjoy!
