Steps
Sequence Step
1Boil macaroni and rinse with cold water. Set aside until cheese sauce is ready.
2Melt stick of butter or margarine over medium heat.
3Add up to 1/2 cup flour, salt and pepper (more or less to suit your tastes) until you have a paste consistency, continue to cook for 3 minutes to remove flour taste.
4Add can of evaporated milk slowly and use optional whisk to avoid lumps.
5Constantly stir as sauce will stick to the bottom of the pan and potentially burn. Cook until the milk mixture starts to thicken up and add up to 1 cup regular milk to thin out if it gets too thick. Adjust heat so that the mixture comes to a very light boil but does not burn. Then immediately reduce heat to medium for remaining steps.
6Spray 9x13 pan with cooking spray and add the macaroni.
7Add the cubed loaf of Velvetta (8 or 16 ounce loaf depending on your preference), jar of cheese whiz, and cubed block of extra sharp cheddar cheese. Stir until it melts. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
8Cover pan with foil and bake in 375 degree oven for 30-45 minutes. It should be hot and beginning to bubble but not brown on sides.
9Remove foil and top with the shredded cheese and additional pepper if desired. Continue to bake at 375 degree for an additional 10-15 minutes or until shredded chesse melts, sides are lightly brown and pan is bubbly.
10Remove from oven and allow to stand for several minutes (don''''t want to burn your mouth!) before serving.
