I&#39;ve never had time to let it set overnight, so I boil the macaroni in the chicken broth, and add only 1\/4 cup chicken broth to the dish. Very very good and have made it several times for company. Also I usually don&#39;t have velveeta, so i just add some shredded chedder, about 8 oz of it. The more cheese the better! :)<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"11\/28\/2011 07:51","GUID":"174d8eb378124d679285a704ba08c0ba","MemberId":2396269,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"crystal24","SubmittedDate":"11\/28\/2011 07:51"},{"Comment":"<p>I prepared everything the night before and baked it when I got home from work the next evening.  It was good but we like a bit more spice.  When I make it next time, instead of celery, I&#39;ll use green chili peppers and maybe a little jalepeno.  It&#39;s very hearty and filling.
