Creamy and cheesey is an accurate description! It's doesn't dry up after baking at all. I used fat free evaporated milk and I recommend using that over regular milk. Thanx for sharing this recipe. A keeper for sure!

My family and I get together every year to carve pumpkins and have a pot luck dinner. I made this recipe and everyone just raved about the mac and cheese! I did use evaporated milk for part of the milk. BTW, I made a double batch and there were no leftovers! Thank you for sharing your recipe with us!

This worked very well for me. I have struggled in the past at making mac and cheese. I used a can of evaporated milk and then top off with 1% milk to make 2 cups. Unfortunately, I didn't have any breadcrumbs but I bet it is even better with them. I did add a little dry mustard, but other than that followed the recipe. This recipe is very good. Thanks! Couple of hints for those who had texture problems....make sure you let the milk, flour, butter mixture thicken before adding the cheese. Also, a hint I picked up from another recipe - remove the thicken milk, flour, butter from the heat before adding the cheese in. That way the cheese doesn't "break" and give a grainy texture.

Excellent! I doubled the velveeta and used half skim milk and half evaporated.

Nice and creamy macaroni and cheese, but a little bland for our taste. Next time, I think I'll try spicing it up a bit, with some dry mustard, garlic powder, black pepper, and maybe a few dashes of hot sauce.

Yummmm! Made this the other day, and it was fantastic! Creamy and cheesy, just as described. I served it with steamed broccoli because who doesn't love broccoli and cheese sauce?! A snap to make, as well. Thanks for posting, Sherry!

My daughter is a macaroni and cheese fanatic. I have tried many recipes and found that this was by far her favorite. She will only make this one for her family now. Thank you so much for such and easy and tasty recipe.

This macaroni and cheese was creamy and rich with the use of evaporated milk. We really enjoyed this as a main dish. It made 3 main dish meals. Thanks so much for a great addition to our meals!

Mac and cheese my style. This is pretty much the way I have made mac and cheese since my kids were little. For a more grown up taste, I added a touch of cayenne pepper. The combination of Velveeta or processed cheese with evaporated milk makes for a very creamy sauce. Made for the Photo Forum Comfort Food event.
