Tiktok Mac and Cheese
Description
The Tiktok Mac and Cheese starts with Velveeta cheese placed in a baking dish surrounded by elbow macaroni pasta. The noodles are covered with a mixture of heavy whipping cream and water, seasoned with salt and pepper. Butter pieces are distributed on top before covering with foil and baking until the pasta reaches tenderness and the cheese melts and blends.
After baking, the foil is removed and shredded cheddar cheese is folded in, creating additional cheesy richness and texture depth. The baking technique allows the pasta to absorb the creamy sauce slowly and the cheese to melt evenly, producing a moist and luscious mac and cheese with a luscious texture.
This dish can be served as a hearty side or main, pairing well with various proteins or vegetables. The creamy, cheesy sauce combined with soft pasta offers a satisfying meal suitable for comfort food cravings.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Velveeta cheese
- 16 ounces elbow macaroni pasta
- 3 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup water
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Unwrap the Velveeta Cheese and place it in the center of a 9X13 baking pan. Pour the noodles around the block of cheese in the pan.
- Then cover the pasta with the heavy whipping cream and the milk and season it with salt and pepper.
- Cut the butter into 4 individual pieces (1 tablespoon each) and place a piece in each of the corners of the pan.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake it for 45-60 minutes until the pasta is tender and cooked through. Watch the pasta closely as it cooks and add more water if needed toward the end of the cook time.
- Carefully remove the pan from the oven and remove the foil. Stir the pasta together with the melted cheese.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese (1 cup at a time) until it’s combined and melted.
- Then the mac and cheese is ready to serve and enjoy!
