This meal is kid and husband approved – and is a delicious, healthy alternative to boxed shells and cheese and frozen chicken nuggets. I long savored Velveeta shells and cheese and would serve it often, since it is such a “quick and easy” side. I feel cheated now that I’ve discovered it takes the same amount of time to make homemade macaroni and cheese – without the processed ingredients (like actual cheese and not “cheese product”…*shudder*). My method with this meal combination is to fry the nuggets first and throw them in the oven at about 200 degrees to keep them warm – then wipe down the frying pan and start the roux for the macaroni.
