Yum! I used Rigatoni pasta as I had no macaroni, used about 2 cups but kept the sauce ingredients the same..was still cheesy and very creamy. Our processed cheese is called Chesdale here, not as orange as Velveeta but still delicious. Made enough for 3 servings. -
This dish was made on 9/11/08 as part of mine and SO's dinner. And After reading Chef flower7's review, I decided to cut the milk down to a 3/4 cup. And increased the flour and butter to 2 Tablespoons each and with those adjustments, the sauce turned out just right for us.The texture was creamy, and the taste from both types of pepper gave it "a little bite" which was nice.Thanks for posting and, "Keep Smiling :)" -
Yummy! I had trouble getting the white sauce to thicken (it never did) so just followed the directions otherwise and it was just fine after baking. Looking at other recipes with white sauce, I think it was too much milk for the amount of butter & flour so next time I may try with less milk. Used light Velveeta and skim milk and skipped the tomatoes. I got about 3-4 servings (depends how hungry you are lol) Thanks for the recipe Wendy!

Hello!
I am a thirty-nine year old mom with two children.
I am originally from Xenia, Ohio where I have lived longer than anywhere, but have lived in many different places. Ohio is one of my favorite states...I love the different seasons here!
I love to remodel and decorate homes, when I have the time, and of course, I'm very passionate about cooking!!
There is a long line of great cooks in my family and I am trying to put together a cookbook for them, from recipes they've shared with me. I have no favorite cookbook...I love picking up new (even better...very old) ones from yard sales, Ebay, Amazon, or wherever I find a good book with a good deal!
Love the Food Network and my favs to watch, when I have the time, are Giada De Lorentis & Tyler Florence.
