Baked Mac and Cheese w/o the crunch
We love our mac and cheese, but not the breadcrumbs, or crunchy toppings found in so many recipes. This version keeps it simple and traditional with plenty of creamy, cheesy Velveeta-style goodness. Just classic comfort food the way we like it!
Ingredients You’ll Need
To whip up the perfect baked mac and cheese, gather the following ingredients:
1 lb. pasta
12 oz Velveeta cheese
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
1 tbsp whipping cream
1/4 cup shredded parmesan
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
2 cups 3 cheese blend
Easy Steps to Make Baked Mac and Cheese
Now that you have all your ingredients ready, let's get started with the cooking process:
Begin by cooking the pasta to an al-dente texture, about 6 minutes. Make sure to drain it well afterward.
Next, take a 13x9 baking pan and add the cooked pasta.
In a saucepan, melt the Velveeta cheese along with the butter over low heat. Once melted, mix in the milk, whipping cream, shredded parmesan, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir thoroughly to create a creamy cheese sauce.
Pour the cheese sauce over the pasta in the baking pan, ensuring everything is well combined.
Sprinkle the 3 cheese blend on top for that extra cheesy goodness.
Bake in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 30 minutes.
Once done, remove from the oven, give it a good stir, and serve hot!
