Ingredients

  • 16 ounces elbow macaroni
  • 1/2 cup butter cut up into chunks so it melts easier
  • 8 ounces Velveeta cut into little cubes
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk or to taste
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • paprika optional.. I just use it for a little extra flavor and pretty color

Instructions

  • Cook macaroni according to package directions (al dente) in salted water. When macaroni is cooked, drain and return to pot on low heat.

  • When butter is melted, add cheeses and milk. Keep stirring until cheese is melted. If it is too thick, add more milk.. if it's too thin, add more cheese.
