Ingredients For sara's macaroni and cheese

  • 1 box
    any type of pasta (shells, rotini, capellini are my favorite)
  • 1 1/2 c
    milk or heavy cream
  • 12 oz
    velveeta cheese
  • 1/2 to 1 c
    cheddar cheese to desire (i use whatever is in the fridge)
  • 1/2 lb
    bacon or ham (optional)

How To Make sara's macaroni and cheese

  • 1
    Start the pasta, follow directions on box for your desired tenderness.
  • 2
    In a medium size sauce pan, pour your milk or cream. Cube velveeta for easier, more consistent melting. Over medium heat melt the velveeta in the milk/cream. After the velveeta melts add your additional cheese.
  • 3
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 4
    Drain the pasta. In the larger pot mix the pasta and the cheese sauce. At this point you can add any mix-ins. I will either add 1/2 pound of bacon or ham (optional).
  • 5
    Grease 2 qt casserole dish. Pour Macaroni and Cheese into casserole dish. Put casserole dish into pre-heated oven.
  • 6
    Bake for 15 mins. Cool for a few minutes before eating.
