In a large pot filled halfway, bring water to a boil over high heat. Salt water and pour in pasta. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook until pasta is al dente. Strain and set aside.
-
While pasta is cooking, cook ground beef until browned. Drain off any grease and set aside.
-
Cover the bottom of a large microwave safe dish (that has a lid!) with 1/3 of the pasta. Dot pasta with 1/3 of the butter and Velveeta. Repeat layer 2 more times – pasta, butter and Velveeta. Pour milk over the top.
-
Place lid on dish and microwave for 4 minutes on HIGH. Remove lid and stir pasta. Microwave for 3 more minutes. Stir pasta again.
-
Season pasta with a little salt and a very generous amount of pepper. {This is the key to making the dish just like Dad.} Stir in ground beef. Serve warm.
