Hi Karen, so happy you enjoy this recipe, it’s a good one! Over the years I have made some adjustments to it, so the current recipe posted is my favorite way to make it. 🙂

I made this recipe and it was delicious but the recipe I have from you is from April 2021 and the title is King Ranch Chicken Macaroni and Cheese which only called for 4 oz. of Velveeta and 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese mixed in then 2 cups of sharp cheddar cheese on top. It also called for cream of mushroom soup which I love but my fussy company does not like mushrooms so I used cream of chicken.

I make this dish…a…lot!! It’s always a huge hit with everyone, adults and kids, and there are never any leftovers when I take it to church potlucks. It’s quick and easy to make. The only things I do differently is I make it with ditalini pasta instead of elbow because it seems the dish is really creamy this way, and I add a little more chicken if I have it, as well as probably more cheese (I use a Mexican blend) on top. Seriously…to die for!! Thanks for the Recipe!

Hi Deb! Yes, you can prepare this the night/day before up until the baking point. Don’t bake! Just cover the baking dish and place in the fridge until you’re ready to bake it. It may need a little bit longer of a baking time since it will be cold. 🙂

I have made this once before, and it was amazing! I would like to make it for my daughters birthday when we have the whole family over and I was wondering if I could make it the day before.

We thought this was excellent! I followed the recipe, except I sauteed the onion before heating with the Rotel tomatoes and Velveeta; my husband doesn’t like onions, and I figured raw onions would ruin it for him. it was very creamy and a bit spicy and something I’ll definitely be making again.
