Join the discussionThis sounds delicious! I adore velveeta, but try to limit it to special occasions. This casserole will be made! 🙂
We are the same way with the Velveeta as well! But it truly makes this recipe delish! Enjoy!
This looks great! I have a very picky toddler who loves Mac and cheese. I’m wondering if anyone has ideas of how to hide veggies in this…
Great question! I still try to to sneak veggies into my teenagers meals too! Sometimes I will sautee or roast vegetables and then puree and sneak into spaghetti sauces and pasta dishes. Here are some of the recipes I love http://onceamonthmeals.com/hea… http://onceamonthmeals.com/che…
You could probably get away with a mashed or puree cauliflower, maybe use that instead of the flour to thicken the sauce
