I love making super easy, quick dinners for my family on school nights. All week long I dread trying to come up with fancy meals and sometimes I need a break. Here is a family favorite I think you will enjoy and it is super easy!!
What you need:
Velveeta Cheese black
Half & Half
Bacon (optional)
Extra Sharp cheese
Macaroni noodles
Bread crumbs or Panko

Boil your pasta as the box instructs. While that is happening fry up some bacon. I just leave the bacon grease once they are done in the pan.
I cube up cheese. Now I cant say exactly how much because it depends on how big your pan is. My pan can hold half of a Velveeta block and one small block of cheese.
I add the cheese to the bacon grease and melt it down. I splash some Half & half in to help create a more liquid texture. Next I add the noodles after they have cooked and were drained.
Mix together well and incorporate the bacon.
Next I add bread crumbs or Panko for a bit of crunch.
Serve and Enjoy!
