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).
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.
