How To Make The Best Baked Macaroni and Cheese (3 Cheese Recipe)

Posted on by

Winning Recipe! I followed this baked macaroni and cheese recipe with Velveeta and made two pans for our community dinner. It took me a around two hours from start to finish because I was taking time out to watch my favorite football team. The baked mac and cheese looked delicious but the real test was seeing how people reacted.

I made two pans which I took to our community dinner and people didn’t know that I was the one that made the Baked Mac and Cheese. Several people told me that this was the best baked Mac and Cheese they had tasted. I watched several kids and adults go back for seconds. Not only did it taste great, the baked cheese on top gave it a great presentation. This recipe was a big hit!
