  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

8 to 16 ounces elbow pasta

3/4 cup whole milk

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

8 ounces cubed processed cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

1-Getting started with Velveeta Mac And Cheese: Getting started with Velveeta Mac And Cheese is as easy as pie, folks. First off, gather your ingredients and get your stove ready on medium heat. This will help everything come together smoothly without any hitches.

2-Cook the 8 to 16 ounces elbow pasta: Cook the 8 to 16 ounces elbow pasta in well-salted water until it’s al dente, which usually takes about 7-8 minutes. Once it’s done, drain it and set it aside so it doesn’t get too soft. In a saucepan, warm the 3/4 cup whole milk with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika over medium heat until it’s hot but not boiling that’s key to avoiding lumps.

3-Next, add the 8 ounces cubed processed cheese and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese: Next, add the 8 ounces cubed processed cheese and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, whisking until it’s all smooth and creamy. This step takes just a minute or two, but stir constantly for the best results. Finally, mix in the cooked pasta until every piece is coated, then serve it up warm. The whole process clocks in at about 10 minutes prep and 15 minutes cook time, making it a total of 25 minutes perfect for a quick meal.

Notes

🧂 Avoid boiling the sauce; heat gently to prevent lumpiness.
🍝 Cook pasta al dente as it will cook further when mixed with sauce.
🧀 Grate cheddar cheese yourself for a smoother sauce and chill the cheese block before grating for ease.
