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 a quick dinner.
THE BEST AND CREAMIEST STOVETOP MAC AND CHEESE EVER!!! This Mac and Cheese are 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, are out of this world that your family will certainly love it. I have made this a dozen times, and it always amazes 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 wouldn’t say I liked 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…

This is a great, easy comfort food dinner! Definitely ‘guy food’ but really tasty. My teenagers loved it and could easily make on their own. Do not leave out the onion powder!
Thanks for sharing.

A recipe I use many times- easy to fix- I use unsalted beef broth in place of water
Shobelyn Dayrit says
You can choose cheddar cheese.
Amanda says
What could I use as a substitute for velvetta?
Shobelyn Dayrit says
Hi, shannon. Where is the cover page? It’s 1/2 lb equal to 8 oz.
Shobelyn Dayrit says
It’s 8 oz.
Shannon Dunlap says
The cover page days 1 pound Velveeta but the recipe inside says 8 ounces. Which is it?
Shobelyn Dayrit says
I have not tried it, but I don’t recommend subbing the ketchup, as it will change the consistency and taste.
Ramorgan says
I haven’t tried this recipe yet, but can I use canned dived tomatoes instead of ketchup?
Shobelyn Dayrit says
Awesome!!! Thank you.
Kelsey says
So so good! Used ground turkey instead of ground beef and it turned out amazing

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
Shobelyn Dayrit says
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?
Shobelyn Dayrit says

Lisa Dee says
My son loves this! I add some garlic powder too. Quick and easy and not out of a box!
Shobelyn Dayrit says
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.
Lisa A WHitehead says

I tried this today. I added garlic powder, a dash of nutmeg, and salt and pepper to the other ingredients, It smells delicious! I’ll wait for my son to get home to try to hear what he’ll say. What a wholesome meal for lunch or dinner. Thank you for the recipe.
shobee says
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?
shobee says
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.
jessica says
MY kids will totally tear this up. Love that it is semi-homemade.
Cindy says
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
