How To Make velveeta mac and cheese

  • Step 1
    Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low, add the garlic, and cook for 1 minute while stirring.
  • Step 2
    Stir in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and milk. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  • Step 3
    Add the shell pasta and cook for 10-12 minutes or until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Stir frequently.
  • Step 4
    Add small amounts of chicken broth or milk to keep the pasta primarily submerged.
  • Step 5
    Stir in the Velvetta and Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
