Velveeta Cheese Burger Mac and Cheese is an easy dinner to prepare for a busy mom like you. Made only in 6 ingredients, this is a cheap way to serve quick dinner.
THE BEST AND CREAMIEST STOVETOP MAC AND CHEESE EVER!!! This Mac and Cheese is seriously the best. It is cooked stovetop, it is seriously so easy to cook and you can make this within 30 minutes plus the taste and the creaminess, out of this world that your family will certainly love it. I have made this a dozen times and it never fails to amaze the kids. I also bring it to work for lunch.
Before I came here to the US, I had no idea what Macaroni and Cheese were until I tried one in our hospital’s cafeteria. How I wish that I can say that I love it, but I did not like it. It was just salty and I thought it smelled weird. Thirteen years later, I am now a Mac and Cheese fan because I found this recipe. I got it from a Kraft magazine and since then, every time the family craves Mac and Cheese, this is a no-fail way to go. So creamy, so cheesy, and freaking delicious! what I love more about this recipe is that, the taste gets better the next day and when heated up; so I always make a big batch that can last a week of work lunches and dinners. Try this, and you will surely love it…

A recipe I use many times- easy to fix- I use unsalted beef broth in place of water
You can choose cheddar cheese.
What could I use as a substitute for velvetta?
Hi, shannon. Where is the cover page? It’s 1/2 lb equal to 8 oz.
It’s 8 oz.
The cover page days 1 pound Velveeta but the recipe inside says 8 ounces. Which is it?
I have not tried it, but I don’t recommend subbing the ketchup, as it will change the consistency and taste.
I haven’t tried this recipe yet, but can I use canned dived tomatoes instead of ketchup?
Awesome!!! Thank you.
So so good! Used ground turkey instead of ground beef and it turned out amazing
Thank you!
Delicious and super easy!!
I am not sure what you mean, but if you mean un cooked mac and good velveeta, it’s ok.
Can I use leftover macaroni and cheese?
I am so glad you like it! Thank you.
This is the best Cheese Burger Mac recipe online. Just found this recipe again and will be making it this way forever. Thank you Shobee, you did an excellent job! I can’t wait to try out your other recipes.
Awesome. Thank you.
I made this because we were between paydays so short on funds but I had the ingredients
My son LOVED IT
I’m making it again tonight because he requested it
You can use the macaroni like the Anne’s but the recipe of the sauce should be followed to achieve the same taste.
Hey can I just use a macaroni and cheese box? Like Anne’s?
I am glad he likes it as much as we do.Thank you so much!!!
My son loves this! I add some garlic powder too. Quick and easy and not out of a box!
Hi, Lisa. You can use the shells but I am not sure the taste of the cheese.
I think you can do it, just adjust and slowly add the rest of the ingredients accordingly.
do you think I could use the boxed kit shells and cheese and just add your ingredients to that? its velvet shells and cheese original boxed.Thank you
I am glad that you guys like it. Thank you.
Easy, my son loves it! Added some garlic to it.

As far as this Mac and CHeese is concern, I did not put any coloring in it. I am not sure with the Velveeta company if they added food color with their cheeses, though. REgarding your son, so you got a picky eater?
I hope they love it. As far as my kids, they love this. My daughter brought her to her school’s potluck and everybody raved about MAc and Cheese, she said.
MY kids will totally tear this up. Love that it is semi-homemade.
That looks delicious I always assumed velveeta had food dye in it which my son can’t have but I should Che k because I want to eat that
