  7. Add in half the pasta and cover with half the shredded cheese.
  8. Top with remaining pasta and remaining cheese.
  9. Drizzle milk over the top of the mac and cheese and add to the oven.

Notes

  • You can also add in a little Velvetta if you wish to give this dish a little more creaminess.
  • This is a VERY cheesy mac and cheese that is heavy on the cheese. It is not a creamy cheese sauce type of mac and cheese. It's more about pasta with melted cheese.
