Boil your noodles, drain and then add little milk and butter and Velveeta Cheese, melt together on low heat.

Sorry don't have a receipe, you can use approx the same as the box mix and then adjust from there for the consistency you like.

Enjoy

My family loves this one....I found it at kraft.com and now it's the only one I make. Sure beats the boxed kind!

2 Tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. salt

PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Melt butter in large saucepan on low heat. Add flour and salt; mix well. Cook 2 minutes or until bubbly. Gradually add milk, stirring until well blended.

Cook as much macaroni as you think you will need. I used shallow rectangular glass dishes so everyone gets some of the crusty top. In a large bowl pour the drained macaroni. Add to tast, salt, pepper and LOTS of dried onions. Add grated cheese and then toss all with as much Campbell's GOLDEN Mushroom soup as you think is needed but save some for the top- should have a good coating. Put into glass dish and put the rest of soup on top. Cover with more grated cheese and bake in moderate oven.

This is my Grandsons favorite dish and is always requested when they come over for supper.
