Ok Jame, this one's for you! This is the only macaroni and cheese that I grew up with, the first time I had Kraft in a box was in college. My mom adapted this recipe from my Grams' recipe that took hours to make, this only takes about a half hour.
2 Cups elbow macaroni
1/4 Cup butter (1 stick)
Approximately 1/4 Cup milk
Approximately 2 inches of Velveeta Cheese
Cook the elbow macaroni according to package directions. Drain. Off heat, place the macaroni back in the pot and add the milk and butter. Cut the Velveeta into smaller chunks (to melt more quickly) and add to the macaroni. Place the pot back on the burner with a low heat. Stirring constantly until the cheese is completely melted.
Once it was all melted, my mom and I would do a taste test. If it is too cheesy, add a splash of milk. If it is to bland, add a couple more chunks of cheese. I've never had macaroni and cheese with a crust or breadcrumbs, but I assume you could just put a layer of breadcrumbs on the top and put it under the broiler for a couple of minutes to brown.
Good luck on your macaroni and cheese mission! I always make this when I need a comfort food or a little piece of "home" so I definately know where you are coming from!
Love,
Andrea
