A Week of Food Series: Week 1 Day 2

Shells & Cheese

This recipe was adapted from one found here.

The ingredients are as follows:

• 2 cups of milk
• 2 pats of butter
• 6-8 ounces of Velveeta
• 2-4 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
• Small to Medium size pasta shells
• Season Salt and Pepper
• Peas
• Cooked bacon

First boil the water and cook the pasta. Drain and set to the side for later.

In a pot heat your milk and butter slowly.

Cube up your Velveeta and grade up your sharp cheddar

Add the Velveeta cubes to the hot milk and butter, stir until melted and then add in the sharp cheddar.

Once melted turn off heat, add in your seasonings and the cooked pasta!

Once combined add in your peas (mine were straight from the freezer) and your cooked and chopped bacon. Stir to combine!

I toasted up some bread with butter and garlic to have along with it. Put some in a bowl for me and ate the whole thing!

It was so good! My whole family loved it and I will be making it again. The best thing about this dish is you can add just about anything you want to it and sub the sharp cheddar for whatever kind of cheese you like!

I think next time I'll use less Velveeta, half sharp, half Gouda and put in some baked chicken.

Let me know if you try this and what you add and if you like it.

Ta for now,
