Creamy Stovetop Mac and Cheese

Here's our family favorite simple macaroni and cheese! Yummy creamy goodness and an easy one pan dish made quick and simple on the stovetop; score! Almost identical to the recipe on the Velveeta box. We like ours sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese, at the table. Yummy add-ins are: veggies (Fordhook limas are my favorite and DH likes extra pepper and cottage cheese in his), some leftover ham, a can of tuna, or even some sliced hotdogs. Be as creative as you like! Perfect for those busy week-night dinners. Enjoy!

I made this on 1/29/08,as part of mine and my SO's dinner.As the macaroni was cooking I added some broccoli.As the velveeta was melting,I chopped a couple of chedder cheese brats(leftover from another meal) into bite-sized pieces and put those in there.And served this with pinto beans and Recipe#101038. All together it made a very good comfort meal.This will be made again.Thanks for posting,and "Keep Smiling :)"Reply
