Mac and Cheese Name: Misty Doster Base: Ft. Hood Recipe: 1 package macaroni or shells 1 block of Velveeta, I always buy the 2 lb block. Cook macaroni according to directions, boil, usually 12-14 minutes, drain, and return to pan. Cut small slices of cheese, add a little milk, and stir well. Add as much cheese as you want for your liking, but don't forget to add more milk along with the cheese or it will taste dried out. Add just a little milk as you go along. This is an inexpensive way to make mac and cheese instead of buying it by the box, and it tastes great because it's really cheesey and creamy.
