“Mom, this is the best macaroni and cheese I have ever tasted”, whispered my 4-year-old in a very serious, appreciative voice after finishing everything on his plate.

My three-year-old finished everything on her plate too! And you know what? They both had seconds AND thirds!!! (yes, having thirds deserves three exclamation points.)

This VELVEETA Mac and Cheese recipe is so easy and comes together really fast. I highly recommend serving it with bright colored sides, like broccoli and strawberries. It would also be delicious mixed with a cup of green peas and served with chicken and a salad. Or if you simply want macaroni and cheese, a dash of dried parsley would add just a little color to make it more beautiful.

You can also toss in some canned black beans or a small can of drained salmon or tuna at the end to add some protein/fiber 🙂 We’ve tried both and they are delicious.
