Ingredients You’ll Need
Elbow Macaroni:
You’ll need a 16-ounce box of elbow macaroni pasta.
Evaporated Milk:
You’ll need one can of evaporated milk. You’ll need one that 12 ounces in size.
Velveeta Cheese:
You’ll need half a traditional block or one small block of Velveeta cheese. You’ll need 16 ounces in total.
Seasonings:
For seasonings, I used sugar, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Breadcrumbs:
I used two different types of breadcrumbs. I used one cup of Italian breadcrumbs and one cup of Panko breadcrumbs for my topping.
Butter:
You’ll need one stick of butter for your crumb topping. I used salted butter.
How to Make This Velveeta Mac and Cheese Recipe
step one:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Boil pasta according to directions, drain and set aside.
step two:
