Super Easy Velveeta Mac Cheese
I know some food snobs will turn their nose up at a recipe using Velveeta cheese and thats OK, I dont use it very often either. However, Velveeta DOES make the creamiest macaroni and cheese, you have to admit it!!
A few days ago, Julie, over at Better than Burgers, posted a recipe she called KFC Mock Mac & Cheese. While Ive never tried KFC mac & cheese, the recipe looked great. I made a couple of very minor changes to her recipe (and renamed it, lol).
My recipe "tweaks" are in BLUE
Boil 2 cups of elbow macaroni for about 7-10 minutes (see note)
8 ounces of Velveeta cheese (see note)
1 cup shredded cheddar (I used sharp)
1/2 cup milk (I used 3/4 cup milk)
1/2 teaspoon salt (I left this out)
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder (my tweak)
Julies recipe called for making the sauce in a pan, but I did it this way:
When the macaroni is almost done, put the Velveeta (cubed)+ the shredded cheddar + the milk and mustard powder in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave it on high for 1 minute, remove and stir. Microwave it for one more minute and stir till smooth.
All microwaves are different, so watch yours for the final 30 seconds as to not over cook. The sauce will be very smooth.
Drain the cooked macaroni and stir into the sauce...thats all there is to it!! If you like "Velveeta Shells and Cheese" out of the box (the one with the foil pouch of cheese sauce) you will love this recipe.
NOTE: This recipe calls for 8 ounces of Velveeta cheese, fortunately, the Velveeta foil wrapper is marked in one ounce sections.
NOTE: Most elbow macaroni is boiled for about 7-8 minutes, but when I make macaroni and cheese, I like to boil the noodles an extra minute or so. Its just a personal preference.

A Buffalo Wing Sauce Stained Spoiler Giants to Win Super Bowl XLVI
As promised, here’s my official Super Bowl XLVI prediction, using Buffalo chicken wing bones! The game will feature the heroic New York Giants vs. the despised New England Patriots, and while I’m sure you would have enjoyed the game anyway, just think how much more fun you’re going to have winning all this easy money too.
The best thing about using bones to predict the winner is not having to waste time gathering information, analyzing game plans, and considering any actual facts.
No, all the talking haircuts on TV can do that, I’m sticking with this time-tested, definitely-not-an-obvious-joke method. By the way, the fact that the "N" is backwards makes this even more of a sure thing. Why? Dont worry about it.
On a personal note, Michele and I were at Candlestick Park yesterday for the NFC Championship Game! The weather was dreadful, but the old ball yard was rocking, and the game turned into an epic defensive struggle that I’m glad we got to see in person. Go Giants! Enjoy!
