Velveeta Cheese Baked Macaroni

 Samantha (Montana) says:
Very disappointed! Made it exactly the way the recipe said and there was hardly a cheese taste at all. Definitely needs more cheese.

Very good recipe. My husband is a very picky eater and he chowed down on this. I will be putting this one in my recipe book. Could have used a little more salt but that can be added to liking.

 Dearcat (Maine) says:
This is a good Velveeta basic recipe. I leave out the salt and sprinkle the top with shredded sharp cheddar then breadcrumbs. Sometimes I do add cut-up ham. I am 75 and my mother made it this way.

 Dean Wilson (New York) says:
I doubled the recipe and used rigatoni instead of elbows. If you are a cheese lover rigatoni is the way to go because the insides fill up with cheese and its very good. Only other thing I did different was threw some shredded Mozzarella on top that we had left over. It was a huge hit, everybody loved it.

 Carol Snow (Washington) says:
My children grew up on this - we all loved it. The recipe I started with almost 40 years ago - did have some diced onion added to the macaroni before the sauce and cheese were added. Of course - the onion added a lot of flavor - which everyone loved.

 Jessica (Massachusetts) says:
Instead of "added salt" and basic bread crumbs or panko bread crumbs, try crushed plain "Lays Potato Chips" sprinkled on top; gives it a salty crunchy texture to the gooey cheese and soft pasta! Yum Yum! Thanks for the quick recipe & other alternatives!

This is very similar to what my mom made growing up, I modified it a little bit to be more like moms :) used 3 cups of Mac and 18 oz velveeta for my boys eat alot ! I left out the flour but added a tsp of mustard ;) moms secret I also added 1 1/2 cups cubed chicken breast and 1 1/2 cups broccoli n carrots (I cut them up very tiny cuz my toddler isn't a fan of veggies but loves cheese :) also instead of bread crumbs I seasoned cubes of cut up toast and I add them 1/2 way through cooking, this is comfort food at it's best!
