3. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 (28 ounce) can of tomato sauce, and 1/4 cup of reserved mushroom liquid (if using).
4. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Meanwhile, cook 1 pound of macaroni according to package directions. Drain well.
6. Add the cooked macaroni to the skillet and stir to combine.
7. Sprinkle 8 ounces of Velveeta cheese, cubed, over the top.
8. Cover the skillet and cook until the cheese is melted and the mixture is heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
