1 (14 ounce) can tomato soup |
8 ounces velveeta cheese or 8 ounces campbell's cheese soup |
4 cups cheddar cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Cook macaroni until noodles are Al Dente, NOT mushy or fully cooked.
3. In saucepan, melt one stick of butter and stir in flour, garlic and salt and pepper. Once blended add milk. Heat and stir until mixture thickens and becomes bubbly. (Like a good Rue).
4. Add Velveeta and 2 cups of Cheddar Cheese, heat until melted throughout.
