Grandma's Macaroni and Cheese

We made this for Beth today, along with sandwiches and grapes. Eating it reminded me of the many Hazelrigg family get-togethers in which we savored this yummy comfort food, Grandma's specialty.

1 pkg Velveeta, cut in approx. 1" cubes
1 stick butter, cut in approx. 1" pieces
1/2 C milk
2 cans Rotel tomatoes, drained thoroughly
2 bags of large shell macaroni

1. Cook macaroni according to directions on bag, drain, and set aside

2. Combine Velveeta, butter, milk, and Rotel in a microwave safe bowl, and melt in microwave on med-low heat, stirring frequently. This process can also be done on the stove in a saucepan, med-low heat, stirring frequently.

3. Combine macaroni and sauce in a large crock pot, on low heat. Mix well, but gently. Can be kept warm for potlucks, but stir often. If macaroni and cheese becomes too sticky, add a dash of milk.

Serves 16. Recipe can be halved to serve a smaller crowd.
