What is a good baked mac and cheese recipe using Velveeta? I know you'd need to add milk too, but how much?!
Make a white sauce while your macaroni is cooking. You'll need 1/2 cube butter and 3 T flour to start. Melt your butter and add the flour. Stir until thick and cook for 1 minute. Add 1 1/2 cups whole milk and stir until thickened. Flavor with 1 tsp kosher or sea salt and 1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper. Add more milk if sauce is too thick. Add 1/2 of your Velveeta to this mix and stir to melt. You can also add 1/4 cup bleu cheese or gorgonzola as well if you like. Add 1/2 tsp hot sauce. Layer 1/2 of the macaroni in buttered baking dish. Top with 1/2 of the sauce and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Dot with 1/2 of the remaining velveeta. Top with remaining macaroni and sauce. Top with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and remaining velveeta. Mix 1 cup bread crumbs with 1//2 cup parmesan and sprinkle on top of macaroni. Dot with butter, cover and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until bubbling.
Answers: I've found that a combination of cheeses makes the best flavored Mac and Cheese. Velveeta is one of my favorites in addition to a sharp cheddar and even some gorgonzola or cambozola bleu.

This recipe doesn't call for Velveeta, but you could use it. I have made this recipe before and it is excellent. The leftovers I used to make fried macaroni and cheese, which was even better!
