How do you make Creamy Macaroni and Cheese on the stovetop?

What cheese do you use to make super creamy mac & cheese?

My friend Rhonda passed this recipe onto me – it’s her Grandpas! And if you ever see my fun nails in my blog posts – that’s all Rhonda – she’s also my nail tech! Rhonda also gave me the recipe for Cherries in the Snow that I made over the holidays (zomg so good!).
This recipe is delicious but because I live alone – I didn’t want to make a full batch – so this is about a half batch. If you’ve got a family of four – you can have this as an entree – or plus up and you’ve got leftovers!
To make the full batch it’s 8 cups water, 1 full box of macaroni, 1 stick of butter, 1 whole small box of Velveeta and 3 jars of Old English. I have to say – I almost wish I’d made the full batch – it was sooooo good!

How to cook The Creamiest Macaroni & Cheese
- Bring water to boil in large pot – BE SURE TO MEASURE THE WATER!!!
- Cook macaroni until half done – do not drain
- Stir in cheeses
- When cheese is almost melted, add butter
- Salt & pepper to taste

Hey Bill! Thanks for the comment but where did I say "real" mac & cheese? I just said creamy!!! And I loved it!!!! Here's a "real" cheese based one for ya – thefoodhussy.com/2019/11/copycat-mary-macs-baked-macaroni-and.html
Sounds delicious, but that's an expensive mac & cheese.
Thank you for sharing my Grandpa’s recipe! I get asked to make it for a lot of events and for every holiday I attend, and it’s a hit every single time! 🙂
This looks AH-MAZ-ING! SO creamy & dreamy. I must make this ASAP!
