VELVEETA ULTIMATE MACARONI AND CHEESE

• Serve and enjoy!

CHEESE SAUCE FOR PHILLY CHEESE STEAKS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, melt the butter on low heat.
• Once melted, gradually add the flour, stirring constantly to avoid lumps, about 2 minutes.You should end up with a thick but still stirrable roux (A roux is basically just equal part butter and flour stirred over some heat and then you add your liquid ingredients to it. It's a thickener and can be used to start all sorts of cream sauces).
• Add 1/4 cup milk slowly to the roux and cook over low heat. Stir until it thickens, about 2 minutes.
• Add the cheddar cheese, the remaining 1/4 cup milk and Velvetta and cook, stirring frequently, until you have a smooth cheese sauce, about 5 minutes.

LOBSTER VELVEETA MAC & CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a large pot of boiling water, cook pasta to al dente.
• While pasta is cooking, in a separate pot, melt the butter. Whisk in flour, mustard, and onion powder. Keep it moving for about 5 minutes.
• Stir in seafood stock, milk, bay leaf, and paprika. Simmer for ten minutes and then remove bay leaf.
• Temper in the egg. Stir in the velveeta and 1 cup of cheddar cheese. Continue stirring until velveeta is melted and sauce is smooth.
• Season with salt and white pepper.
• Fold lobster meat and macaroni into the mix and pour into casserole dish.
• Top with remaining cheese and then panko.
• Spray with Pam cooking spray.
• Bake for 25 minutes in 400 degree oven. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.

VELVEETA CHICKEN SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• In a large skillet or cooking pot, saute bell pepper and onion in oleo (or olive oil if you prefer).
• Add 1 can of chicken broth and chicken. Simmer until tender. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces as it's cooking. Use 3 cups of chicken. (I've used packaged chicken tenderloins, as well as pre-cooked chicken from the deli. Whatever is convenient. It's all good.).
• Add all soups and Ro-tel tomatoes. Stir well. Simmer for about 15 minutes until chicken is done.
• Cook the spaghetti in boiling water or chicken broth until just slightly cooked "al dente" - you don't want to over-cook it because it will be cooking more in the oven. Drain, rinse, and set aside until you are ready to mix with chicken/sauce ingredients in baking dish for the oven.
• In a large baking dish or oven-proof pot, place the cooked and cut up chicken, cooked spaghetti, salt and pepper, cheese, and soup mixture.
• Depending on how creamy you like this dish, you may want to add extra chicken broth before you bake. (I always do).
• Stir very well to mix all ingredients evenly. I usually stir once after about 15 minutes in the oven - after the cheese has had time to melt. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.
• You can add canned or fresh mushrooms if you like.
• Also, for a nice touch - (looks pretty for guests) you can add one can of black olives, sprinkled over the top of the casserole. (optional).(I slice them to make them go further).
• Please note that if you want to cut the fat from your diet, this tastes equally good with fat-free soups and the "lite" velveeta. You can also leave out the olive oil or oleo and spray the pan with pam and add extra fat-free chicken broth.
• A good company dish. Everyone always seems to enjoy this dish and I usually get asked for the recipe. Also, children seem to especially like this dish.
