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

Ingredients

  • 1 pound elbow macaroni
  • 8 tablespoons Challenge butter (1 stick), cut into 1 tablespoon-sized pieces
  • 2 cups half-and-half
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 8 ounces Velveeta, cut into small cubes

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and butter a casserole dish. You can use a 9x13-inch or slightly smaller casserole dish.

  • Add the half-and-half to the pot, along with half the cheddar and Monterey Jack, the eggs, Velveeta, seasoned salt and pepper. Stir to mix well.
  • Pour into prepared dish and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

      I can’t stand Velveeta so I purchased a chuck of American cheese from the deli in place of Velveeta, came perfect.

        I’m not the biggest fan of Velveeta Glenda, so that is very nice to know that it works well with American cheese! ๐Ÿ™‚
