Prepare the Casserole: Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (165°C). In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Create the Cheese Mixture: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the Velveeta cheese until completely melted and smooth. Gradually add the milk and stir to combine, creating a creamy cheese sauce. Season with salt to taste.

Combine and Layer: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni with the cheese sauce, mixing well to ensure all the pasta is coated in that rich, creamy goodness.
-
Layer in Casserole Dish: Transfer the macaroni and cheese mixture to a 2 1/2 quart casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.

Bake: Place the casserole dish uncovered in the preheated oven. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the top is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
