Velveeta Cheese Baked Macaroni

 Bobby (Georgia) says:
This is a super easy, quick, and delicious Mac-n-Cheese recipe. The portions here were more than enough for my family of five (3 boys). Still have left overs. I may try a little less milk next time just to see if it will turn out with a more cheesy flavor. I like to add a little salt and a lot of 7pepper. Last time I made it, I melted sharp cheddar over the top. Marvelous!

I added a little extra cheese, and some bacon bits to the cheese sauce, then used Ritz crumbs on top and then put a little more bacon bits on top of the crumbs. It came out AMAZING!

Great recipe. I made a few minor changes. Instead of Velveeta I used Parmesan. Instead of macaroni I used arborio rice. No milk. I added garlic, shallots and white wine. Best Risotto I've ever had!

This is a great recipe! So many ways to prepare! I used less milk (1 cup) plus I also substituted dairy milk for coconut milk! And I also used 12 oz of Velveeta and the coconut milk really made the dish pop!

 MaKayla (Tennessee) says:
This recipe was really good. I made it a little differently though. I fried and diced bacon and added it to the Mac n cheese. I used mini shells instead of elbow. I left out the salt completely. And I mixed my bread crumbs with Ritz cracker crumbs. Definitely a quick delicious side dish!

 Diansue (California) says:
add 1/2 cup best foods mayo and 1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar to basic recipe... agree that no salt should be added to boiling noodle water... top with slices of cheddar cheese for "cheesy" look.

Made it tonight for a very picky husband! We both loved it! I also doubled the cheese, and I also used Italian seasoned bread crumbs for a little more flavor!

 Shannon (Virginia) says:
I don't think 8 ounces of Velveeta would have been enough. So I added an extra four ounces of Velveeta and about two cups of shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese. And for the breadcrumb topping I doubled the breadcrumbs and the butter. It tastes really good. I'm keeping this recipe, but with my own twist on it with the extra cheese and breadcrumbs. Without the extra sharp cheddar cheese, I think the recipe would have tasted a little bland. I strongly recommend adding different types of extra cheese.
