Prepare yourself for the best Homemade Baked Mac and Cheese recipe you will ever make…
I am not a chef I tell you. Not a chef.
In fact, cooking is not one of my “things”. Most of the time when I cook, it turns out so-so.
Maybe it’s because I prefer to cook meals that are quick. Easy. Don’t take a million ingredients. Because let’s be honest…if your recipe calls for xxxxxxx…there’s a good chance that I will spend WAY TOO MUCH time searching for xxxxxxxx at the grocery store. And the grocery store….is my least favorite place.
However, there are a FEW recipes that I like to say I have mastered. Don’t worry, I’m not being cocky. Like I said, there are only a few.
One of them is my Grandma B’s Homemade Baked Mac and Cheese!
3 reasons I love this recipe:
1. It’s my Grandma’s
2. It’s DELICIOUS
and
3. It has FOUR ingredients!
Here is what you will need:
1 block of Velveeta cheese and 1 block of colby cheese
1 stick of butter
elbow macoroni
milk
You will need a 13×9 baking dish.
First, I like to boil some water and cook my pasta. Make sure you don’t overcook it. You don’t want it to be too mushy.
While my pasta is boiling I cut up my cheese in to small slices. I layer the bottom of my baking dish with both kinds of cheese and 1/3 a stick of butter. Then I add a layer of cooked pasta over the cheese. Top it with more cheese and butter. Another layer of pasta. Another layer of cheese and butter.
Add about 1 cup of milk. Or maybe a little more. I like the milk to fill up the pan about half way.
And bake it on 375 degrees for 45 minutes!
I promise you this will be the best Homemade Baked Mac and Cheese you have ever had!

I LOVE comfort foods and this is definitely a winner. I spent nearly a decade avoiding fun foods just to stay thin, but not any longer. WOW – this is being made and being served (and being eaten – by me!) Thank you! Scott – *I still think you are a darling girl – always have!
This looks so easy and delicious!!
I love mac n cheese! I have no doubt this is a great recipe…I make grits with Velveeta. Also, my maiden name is Rose.
I counted 5 ingredients but whatever it still looks good. Wish you had posted the photo of it cooked.
This looks so good! I have to try it sometime.
