Creamy Macaroni & Cheese

- 2 cups Milk
- 2 cups Velveeta Cheese Cut Into Cubes
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese, Shredded

- While the macaroni water is boiling, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low/medium heat.
- Whisk the flour into the butter, then stir in milk.
- Continue stirring the mixture until it comes to a low boil.
- You may need to increase the heat, but keep stirring to make sure it doesnt burn.
- (A flame spreader is useful if you are using a gas stove.)
- Once the milk mixture is boiling, stir in the cheeses.
- Continue stirring until all of the cheese is melted.
- Add pepper if desired.
- Remove mixture from heat and set aside.
- Pour cooked macaroni into a 9x12 casserole dish.

- Cooks note: I know it sounds weird, but it tastes amazing served with tomato soup on top!
