Macaroni and cheese is the perfect comfort food. Try it in honor of Mother’s day!

My mom is always the first to admit that cooking is not exactly her thing, but a few weeks ago she made an amazing batch of mac and cheese that deserves some recognition.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I feel that this is the perfect opportunity to share this recipe with you.

There are an endless number of recipes for mac and cheese, and honestly I find most of them to be perfectly comforting and delicious.

What makes this recipe special is the fact that it is super quick and easy to make, and it uses Velveeta cheese as opposed to cheddar or other cheeses that are more commonly used.

If you’ve never tried Velveeta, I especially encourage you to try this recipe because it is a really delicious way to use it. (It works great in scrambled eggs too!)

Enjoy!

Ingredients:
3/4 lb pasta (I recommend pipette-it holds the sauce really well.)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons milk 1 tablespoon flour
1/4 package Velveeta cheese (about 4 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Boil pasta with 1 teaspoon salt until tender. Melt butter and milk over medium heat in saucepan. Whisk in flour until dissolved.
Add cheese and stir frequently over low heat until melted. Stir in garlic powder and salt. Drain pasta and add to sauce. Stir and serve.
