Shells & Cheese (with Bacon & Peas)

- Cook pasta according to package instructions for al dente (do not overcook).
- Drain and set aside.
- In a large pot heat the milk and butter over medium-low heat.
- Turn off the heat, then add Velveeta and stir until completely smooth and melted.
- Stir in the grated cheddar, then add seasoned salt and pepper.
- Stir until combined, then taste it and add more seasonings if needed.
- Add cooked pasta and stir until coated.
- It will be soupy and saucy, but will thicken slowly.
