Recipe & Rhyme Mac & Cheese

There’s something about cheese and noodles that draw kids to the dinner table. This macaroni and cheese bake is extra yummy and easy too! Grab your kids to help you make this and to enjoy the fun rhyme. This is what making memories is all about.

Macaroni & Cheese Bake Recipe
You will need:
8 ounce box of rotini pasta (about 3 cups dry)
1/2 stick butter
5 fluid ounce can of evaporated milk
1/2 pound processed cheese spread (Velveeta)
1 cup shredded cheese (Colby & Monterrey Jack)

Caroline Hepfler wants to inspire families to cook and laugh together in the kitchen. Each article includes a kid friendly recipe and a fun rhyme. So what are you waiting for? Lets start rhyming!

Steps to follow:
Boil the macaroni in water for about 8 minutes. You do not want it completely done because it will finish cooking in the oven. Drain the water off leaving about 1/2 cup to 1 cup of water in it. Mix in butter, evaporated milk and Velveeta cheese. Heat on stove at medium heat until it is all melted and blended. Put the mixture in a glass baking dish and sprinkle a little shredded cheese on top. Place in oven on broil until top is melted and bubbly. Place it aside until it cools. It will be soupy when you first take it out of the oven but as it cools to eating temperature, it will thicken.

Now it’s time to get with the rhythm! When reading this rhyme, find a beat. Clap your hands or even stomp your feet!
