Equipment

  • Pasta Pot
  • Pasta Bowls

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups water
  • 1/2 lb elbow macaroni
  • 2 jars Olde English Cheese Spread or 8-10 oz cheddar cheese spread like you would put on crackers
  • 8 oz Velveeta diced
  • 4 tbsp butter sliced

Instructions
 

  • Bring water to boil in large pot with the lid on – BE SURE TO MEASURE THE WATER!!!
    4 cups water
  • When water is boiling, add macaroni and cook pasta until half done - about 4-5 minutes – DO NOT DRAIN
    1/2 lb elbow macaroni
  • Lower to medium heat, Stir in Velveeta and Old English cheeses
    2 jars Olde English Cheese Spread, 8 oz Velveeta
  • When cheese is almost melted, add butter and stir.
    4 tbsp butter
  • Add a pinch of Salt & pepper to taste
  • Turn off heat and let rest. Sauce will thicken up after it stands for 15 minutes – or is even better the next day!
    NOTE: Don’t be worried if it’s too soupy – if you leave it stand for 15 minutes or so – it will thicken up. That’s why it’s important to MEASURE the water to make sure you don’t have too much.
