I’m not a huge fan of Velveeta but there’s no question it gives mac and cheese a wonderfully creamy texture.

Wonderfully cheesy and totally indulgent.

Life should have more mac and cheese.

    I made the creamy mac and cheese several times and it was delicious.
    I did add buttered crumbs and extra shredded cheese on top for some crunch.

  2. My grandchildren love this mac and cheese more than any other mac and cheese they have had. Everyone at the dinner table rates this mac and cheese as the best. I agree 100%. I’ve been making it for years. Now it is a family tradition.

  3. It had good flavor but was not creamy at all. The Velveeta pieces would not melt when mixing with the noodles.

  4. This recipe is the best all in one pot I love and is so creamy friends ask me to make it when we have parties

  5. I also added Smoked Gouda, probably almost a cup of 2% milk, some smoked paprika and a little cayenne pepper. Came out delicious.

  6. It is good. It does need more pepper though and maybe a little more cream and cheese since mine came out kinda of dry

  7. Omg yeeees and yes! Yes yes lol. This was hands down the best Mac and Cheese ever! I used your recipe as a guide and added a few extra things but this here was too tier! It was creamy and delicious yum! My new favorite recipe! Thank you!
