Don't try to make this with all cheddar or you will have a clotted mess. Block American cheese purchased from the deli would also work, although I prefer Velveeta. If you make substitutes or changes, your results will not be the same, and yes, that means you have to use a processed cheese like Velveeta, if you want the super creamy result you see here. Use only block cheese that you shred yourself, since pre-shredded cheese has fillers and stablizers in it that likely will affect the outcome of the recipe, and use sharp cheddar, not mild. Use real, pure butter - not margarine, not a butter substitute - and I highly recommend Land O'Lakes brand especially. Use only the original version of Velveeta brand processed cheese - no generics, no lower fat varieties. After that, you'll have a baseline to make your own changes. The one thing I want to emphasis is that you must follow this recipe exactly and make no substitutes, at least the first time you make it.

As with all macaroni and cheese, serve this hot, right out of the oven if you possibly can. This recipe makes a huge, 8 quart casserole dish perfect for the holidays, but also can be easily halved, which will still feed plenty of folks, or you can make the full recipe in two 4-quart casserole dishes too. and even though it's not quite the holidays, I so wanted to make it to share with you, so you could add it to your holiday menu.
