Candied Orange Slices

Ingredients
 

  • 1 ½ cups milk (divided into 1 cup and ½ cup portions - *see note)
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups elbow macaroni (dry)

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot over medium-high heat, add your water, 1 cup of milk, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper. Stir to combine and then add in the elbow macaroni.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes or until the noodles are al dente.
  • Next, add in the butter and stir until it is melted then add in the remaining ½ cup of milk and the cubed Velveeta cheese. Stir the pasta until the cheese melts.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and add in the shredded cheese, stirring until melted.
  • Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • I like to use higher-fat dairy to make macaroni and cheesy, as it gives it a richer flavor. My personal favorite dairy options are heavy cream or half & half (which both do well when boiled).
  • Make sure you reuse any leftovers to make my mac and cheese bites!
  • Macaroni noodles are the classic choice for mac & cheese, but you can feel free to mix it up with other types of pasta!
  • To store: Keep your leftovers stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • To reheat: Add a splash of milk or cream before reheating in either the microwave or over medium heat on the stove. The extra liquid is necessary to return the macaroni and cheese to a creamy consistency.
