When it comes to creamy, stovetop macaroni and cheese, Velveeta is often the go-to choice. But let's be real, it can be a bit... rubbery and bland at times. And don't even get me started on the artificial taste! So, how do you make good mac and cheese with Velveeta? It all comes down to finding the right balance of flavors and textures.

First things first, start by cooking your pasta al dente. Then, in a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add in 1/4 cup of flour and whisk until it forms a smooth paste. Cook for about a minute, then gradually add in 2 cups of milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.

Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it thickens, stirring occasionally. Now it's time to add in your Velveeta. Yes, you read that right - we're using Velveeta! But don't worry, we'll balance out its artificial flavor with some sharp cheddar cheese. Add in 1 cup of shredded cheddar and stir until melted.

Add in cooked macaroni, salt, and pepper to taste. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and top with additional cheddar cheese if desired. Bake at 350°F for about 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

The result? A creamy, cheesy, and utterly delicious mac and cheese that's sure to please even the pickiest of eaters. And the best part? It's surprisingly easy to make!
