A few years back my husband and I decided to stop eating so many processed foods. The one food I missed the most was Velveeta Shells and Cheese. I can not even begin tell you how many mac and cheese recipes I have tried and while they were good, non of them had the creaminess of Velveeta.
That was until I tried this recipe. Not only is this macaroni and cheese nice and creamy, but it is also super easy to make. Just look at all that creamy cheesy goodness.
