Classic Macaroni and Cheese

This only takes 20 minutes or a little longer if you want to add to it
or want to place in the oven.
Makes 4 Servings
Serve right from the pan that it is mixed in.

2 cups elbow macaroni, uncooked
1 pkg. (8 oz.) KRAFT CLASSIC MELTS Cheese Blend
3/4 cup milk

Cook Macaroni as directed on package; drain. Set aside.
ADD cheese and milk to saucepan. Heat on low about 5 mins. or until
cheese is melted, stirring frequently. Add cooked macaroni to saucepan;
stir until well coated. Let stand 5 minutes for sauce to thicken.

VARIATIONS: For a thicker cheese sauce, prepare as directed.
Stir 1 TBSP. flour into cheese and milk mixture.

For a quick and easy main dish, prepare as directed. Stir 1 cup
cubed ham or chopped cooked chicken, or cooked ground beef
just before serving; heat thoroughly.
Prep time 5 minutes cook time 15 minutes plus standing
If you add anything give it a little longer.
This can be made all in one pan to help with cleanup.
You can save some of the cheese from the milk mixture to place
on top if you want to put in a dish in the oven to get a crispy
crunchy toppinp before serving.
Hope you enjoy this.

P.S. I used the FOUR CHEESE BLEND of the KRAFT MELTS
Thanks
