Louise Graybiel, of Toronto, Ontario writes of her Beefy Shells and Cheese, “Boxed macaroni and cheese, store-bought salsa and canned beans make this kid-pleaser a snap to fix!” For a bonus, Louise likes to add shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese to the dish for extra-cheesy fun!

Velveeta Cheese Burger Mac and Cheese is an easy dinner to prepare for a busy mom like you. Made only in 6 ingredients, this is a cheap way to serve quick dinner.

THE BEST AND CREAMIEST STOVETOP MAC AND CHEESE EVER!!! This Mac and Cheese is seriously the best. It is cooked stovetop, it is seriously so easy to cook and you can make this within 30 minutes plus the taste and the creaminess, out of this world that your family will certainly love it. I have made this a dozen times and it never fails to amaze the kids. I also bring it to work for lunch.

Before I came here to the US, I had no idea what Macaroni and Cheese were until I tried one in our hospital’s cafeteria. How I wish that I can say that I love it, but I did not like it. It was just salty and I thought it smelled weird. Thirteen years later, I am now a Mac and Cheese fan because I found this recipe. I got it from a Kraft magazine and since then, every time the family craves Mac and Cheese, this is a no-fail way to go. So creamy, so cheesy, and freaking delicious! what I love more about this recipe is that, the taste gets better the next day and when heated up; so I always make a big batch that can last a week of work lunches and dinners. Try this, and you will surely love it…

How do I make Velveeta mac and cheese better?

You can turn that packet of powdered cheese into a creamy, delicious sauce with a few quick additions: whole milk, butter, American cheese, and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan. Get the recipe at Loaves and Dishes. A crispy layer of breadcrumbs will give your mac and cheese a little extra oomph.
