Ps, don't be scared of the velveta!! It is the absolute secret ingrediant and puts this over the top! Wonderful, Ashley!
Thank you so much for letting me know. I'm glad that it was a hit -- even with the Velveeta! I don't get it. I'm not trying to be rude. I always read the reviews on a recipe.

Sounds delicious thanks for the extra tips re: salt content. Any additional tips will be appreciated.
Yum this sounds delicious Do you happen to have a favorite cheddar cheese brand? Thanks for all your recipes and website I love it. Hi, Tess! I don't exclusively use one brand, but I like Kraft blocks of cheese since that's typically what I can find at our little local grocery store.
There isn't too much fancy selection for me to be choosy with. Thanks for letting me know I'll be trying this soon and let you know how much we enjoyed it! Hi, Lyn-Anne! One cup of cheddar grated is about 4 ounces, so you'll need a total of 12 ounces for 3 cups. I made this last night and we loved it!! Truly comfort food! A "Keeper" for sure! I do think the next time I may cut the recipe in half Thanks again Sorry, I accidentally posted my "reply" below on the wrong response!
Made this today. It was absolutely great. Added real bacon bits on top with Pablo topping. I think the velvetta is the trick. Sounds perfect, Kevin!
I agree -- that Velveeta makes a big difference in the taste and texture of the cheese sauce. Thanks for your note! Hi, Diane! I'm not sure I've never had that problem. That can cause the emulsifiers and coagulants in the cheese to break down and cause a gritty texture.
It's similar to curdling. Hi there! When cheese gets too hot, it separates, and that's what gives a grainy texture. Hope this helps! I wanted to come back and let you know that my husband said this recipe was just like his "Mom" used to make We both love it! This was a delicious mac and cheese recipe. Creamy but with a nice strong cheddar flavor. All 3 kids loved it and are looking forward to leftovers tomorrow.

Excited to try this for Thanksgiving this year! Can this be made dairy free as well? If so, any suggestions on what to use in place of milk to still get a good, creamy sauce?? Hi Liz, I would recommend using unsweetened almond milk to replace the milk in the recipe. Depending on your sensitivity, Velveeta does contain some lactose, although way less than traditional cheese.
Let me know how it works out and happy Thanksgiving! Best, Melissa. Hi Dee, Yes, you can make this the day before, but keep the sauce and mac and cheese separate. You can cook the pasta right before you bake it or boil it, rinse in cold water, and then store in the fridge separately from the sauce.

Once I stopped using pre-shredded cheese, my mac n cheese has never been grainy since. Unfortunately shredding your own cheese can be time consuming so thanks for this alternative. Hi Tamara, Thanks for writing! Yes, I pretty much never use pre-shredded cheese for anything anymore. It can be a pain to take the time to shred it, but if I have a lot I just use the food processor or my kids!

Because I love my macaroni and cheese creamy I love it made with Velveeta. You can't ask for a smoother, creamier sauce. But a good macaroni and cheese can't just depend on the Velveeta.
