How To Make sara's macaroni and cheese

Step 1

Start the pasta, follow directions on box for your desired tenderness.

Step 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.
Step 3

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Step 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).
Step 5

Grease 2 qt casserole dish. Pour Macaroni and Cheese into casserole dish. Put casserole dish into pre-heated oven.
Step 6

Bake for 15 mins. Cool for a few minutes before eating.
