  1. Boy, you sure picked the perfect recipe to share on a snowy WV morning. I’m off to scour the kitchen for velveeta and elbow macaroni. Thanks.

  2. So I ended up making this and my hubby and I both loved it! And it was so easy! Today I mixed it with homemade chili for lunch, which was also great! Thanks for sharing! I’m adding it to my new list of faves!

  3. I’m so glad to see this recipe and see the word “creamy”! LOL
    I have made SO many oven recipes that are supposed to turn out great mac and cheese and to me I’m thinking this stuff is not creamy and cheesy it’s too dry, and never mind leftovers….. Can’t wait to try yours!

    1. You can use American Cheese or cheddar cheese as a,substitute since it melts very well!! I too don’t like using valveeta as well also you can add cream cheese instead if heavy cream itll make it a lot creamier!!

  4. Thanks for posting this…again. I’ve made this before, but it’s been a while. Will be on the menu at some point this week! 🙂 Bring on the comfort carbs!!!

  5. Followed the recipe as given and the family really liked it a lot. Thick and creamy and easy to make. The second time I made it I added 1/4 t dry mustard, a cup of cubed ham and 1/2 of grated carrot for an amazing casserole. Thanks so much for sharing

  6. Just wondering what the finished product looks like… I just made… seems like lotsa grease on top…. I baked longer than it said. I did use cheddar and I had to use milk as I didn’t have cream
