    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)
    • 2 tablespoon butter
    • ½ lb Velveeta cheese (cubed)
    • ½ cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)

    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.
      1 ½ cups milk, 1 ½ cups water, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon pepper, 2 cups 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.
      1 ½ cups milk, ½ lb Velveeta cheese, 2 tablespoon butter

      ½ cup sharp cheddar cheese

    Equipment You May Need

    Measuring Cups
    Large Stockpot
    Wooden Spoon

    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.
