My Favorite Kitchen Tools To Make This Recipe
From trusty pots and pans to handy gadgets, I’ve curated a list of products I use and love.
I grew up eating my grandma’s mac and cheese; I have the best memories from our family holidays, camp trips, and trips to Water World with my cousins. Heading out to our grandparent’s RV at lunch was always a special treat because we knew we would get to devour grandma’s delicious mac and cheese.
It wasn’t until my grandma got into her late 80s or early 90s that she stopped making this for the family picnic. And so some of my aunts stepped in and made it instead. My grandmother passed away this year, and I was sad to have never gotten the recipe from her. Whenever I asked her for it, she would say I throw it together.
At our family reunion this past summer, I decided to try making grandma’s famous mac and cheese dish. All I knew was that it contained American cheese and pepper, but I went ahead and made a recipe with those ingredients. Imagine my surprise when everyone at the picnic told me it wasn’t quite like grandma’s!
It turns out she used Velveeta instead of regular American cheese. Who would have thought? My aunt told me the simple ingredient list: milk, Velveeta, salt, and pepper. Grandma just eyeballed the amounts for each ingredient.
I was in disbelief when my grandma told me she used Velveeta in her cooking. The woman who prepared our family meals from scratch loved processed cheese. My dad and Aunt Ditta nodded, telling me how much Grandma and Grandpa loved Velveeta.
This recipe is super easy– you throw all the ingredients together. Even though it’s so straightforward, I must write it down so future generations will know about it. After all, my grandmother didn’t create this dish– but she made it better than anyone else could.

Nice recipe
This looks a lot like my mom’s Mac and Cheese that I’ve been seeking for years, except that I remember thin slices of cheese being put on top and then put in the oven until melted and took on a dark tan color. Sometimes she left it back until it was a bit crispy. Try it, you get a little different taste added to the creamy Mac and Cheese.
