8 ounces of Velveeta (1/2 large block) - cubed
1 stick of butter
1/2 cup milk
2 cups macaroni noodles (I use elbows)
pepper to taste
Boil macaroni noodles according to the directions on the package. While macaroni is boiling, melt the butter in a large pot. Add in the cubed Velveeta to the melted butter. Stir constantly until the Velveeta is melted. Stir in milk and season with pepper. Once the noodles are cooked and drained, add to the pot of cheese. Stir until well combined.
Tip: Stir constantly and remove from heat as soon as everything is combined to prevent scorching.
12-16 ounce bag of Coleslaw
3 tbsp. of Sesame seeds
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1 package of Soy Sauce Ramen Noodles (crushed)
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 tbsp. Soy Sauce
1/4 cup sugar
1 package of seasoning from Ramen Noodles
In a large skillet, melt the butter. Toast the slivered almonds and the crushed Ramen Noodles for 1 minute. Add in the sesame seeds and continue to toast an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
In a mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and the package of seasoning from the Ramen Noodles.
Place the coleslaw in a large bowl. Add the toasted almonds, sesame seeds and Ramen Noodles to the coleslaw. Pour the dressing over the coleslaw mixture and stir until completely covered. Let chill for 1-2 hours before serving. The longer the coleslaw sits, the better it tastes!
