Breadcrumb Topping (Optional)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons salted butter

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Add all 14 ounces whole kernel corn, 14 ounces cream-style corn, 1½ cups water, 1½ cups whole milk, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon mustard powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon paprika, ¼ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, and ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg to a 9x13-inch pan and mix thoroughly.
- Add in 16 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni, 16 ounces Velveeta, and ½ cup salted butter, and stir to coat with the corn mixture.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Stir well, recover, and bake for another 20 minutes. If the macaroni is still too al dente, bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
- If you like a breadcrumb topping for your mac and cheese, add 1 cup panko breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons salted butter, and ¼ teaspoon salt to a small skillet and toast until the butter is melted and evenly coats the breadcrumbs.
- Remove from heat and stir in the ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese. Then, sprinkle it over the top of the mac and cheese and add it during the last 15 minutes of baking.
