Velveeta Mac and Cheese with Cracker Topping
Ingredients
  • cooking spray
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 pound VELVEETA®, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 cups elbow macaroni, cooked and drained
  • 1/2 cup KRAFT Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 6 RITZ Crackers, crushed
  • 5 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, take a 2-quart casserole dish and give it a good coating of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
3
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat on your stovetop.
4
Add a tablespoon or two of flour to the saucepan and whisk it in, then continue cooking and stirring for 2 minutes.
5
Gradually pour in milk, stirring constantly as it comes to a boil. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens, taking around 3 to 5 minutes.
6
Add a block of Velveeta cheese to the saucepan and cook, stirring constantly until it's fully melted.
7
Then, add cooked macaroni to the saucepan and stir until it's well combined.
8
Spoon the mixture into your prepared casserole dish.
9
On top of the macaroni mixture, sprinkle a generous amount of Cheddar cheese.
10
Mix together any leftover melted butter and cracker crumbs until they're fully incorporated.
11
Sprinkle the cracker mixture evenly over the top of your casserole dish.
12
Finally, place your casserole in the preheated oven and bake until it's heated through, taking around 20 minutes.
