Ingredients
Instructions
-
Bring water to a boil in a large stockpot (You can salt it lightly but remember, there is a lot of salt being added by the cheese)
-
Add macaroni, stirring to be sure noodles do not stick together
-
Cook pasta for 2 minutes, then reducing burner to as small a flame as possible
-
Scoop out and discard water until there is only 1/2 to 1โ of water over the pasta remaining
-
Add 1/3 of Velveeta and 1/3 of American to water and stir. Repeat until all the cheese is in the pot.
-
**CRITICAL STEP!** Stir pot every 5 minutes being sure to use a spatula that can scrape the bottom to remove cheese that settles there. NOTE: If you do not do this step properly it will burn on the bottom and will need to be discarded!
-
Continue doing this for the next 30-45 minutes while cheese melts and mac thickens. Product is ready to use once you get to the right thickness.
-
Season with optional black pepper and serve
Note
Stir occasionally to prevent skinning of product if holding over
Quality Note: It is better to cook it to a slightly thinner consistency if you are going to store it for the
next day as it will continue to thicken while cooling and the pasta will stay firm for reheating
