NOTE: The large box of Velveeta is 2 pounds. I did end up putting the 2 lbs in, but the sauce was still EXTREMELY thin. I took out quite a bit of it. The milk...I don't think I even used 1/2 of that half gallon. 1 pint or a quart should be sufficient, especially if you don't normally have whole milk around. It tasted ok, but there was a lot of wasted money in the ingredients/recipe the way it was submitted.
