UPGRADED KRAFT MAC N CHEESE



Upgraded Kraft Mac N Cheese image

This recipe came from a Kraft newsletter. It's very simple, takes the 'blue box' of mac and cheese and adds just a few ingredients and steps to make it taste a bit more homemade. Note that this calls for the "dinner" Kraft mac n cheese, which is the one with the packet of cheese that you squeeze out, not the standard one with the powdered cheese. If you have to use the standard variety, use 2 boxes and add more milk or sour cream, as it tends to dry out during baking.

HOW TO UPGRADE BOXED MACARONI AND CHEESE - ALLRECIPES

  • Boil it better. The package instructions generally recommend boiling the pasta in a pot of water, straining the macaroni, then dumping the cooked noodles back into the pot and stirring in milk, butter, or margarine and the cheese powder.
  • Amp up the cheese. Whether you boil the pasta with the powder or not, definitely don't skip the extra cup of cheese. We love gouda, cheddar, Swiss, Parmesan, fontina, Monterey Jack, or Gruyère to boost the creamy factor and the flavor all at once.
  • Undercook the noodles. Most package directions suggest cooking the pasta a bit longer than we'd prefer, which results in noodles on the mushy side. So cook it 1 to 2 minutes less, depending on how al dente you prefer your noodles.
  • Dress up the dairy. This is one of the quickest and easiest ways to make any mac more decadent. Instead of skim, 1 percent, 2 percent or whole milk, trade in heavy cream or half-and-half.
  • Sprinkle in some spices or sauces. A little kick can go a long way. Choose your own zesty adventure by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper, dry mustard powder, garlic powder, mushroom powder, or even a dash of hot sauce.

  • Broccoli + Shredded Chicken. This combination's got comfort food written all over it, and it couldn't be simpler to whip up, especially if you've got some leftover roast chicken from the night before.
  • Bacon + Peas + Egg. Take a cue from the Italian-Roman classic spaghetti alla carbonara. The method is simple: Cut bacon into one-inch pieces and fry it up until crispy while the water boils.
  • Garlic + Pickled Jalapeños. For those of you who love punched-up flavors and a bit of heat, this is a combination you need to try. Fry up a a few cloves-worth of minced garlic until golden brown (or if you don't want to dirty an extra pan, use garlic powder) and mix that into the macaroni (I like the yellow cheddar varieties for this one), along with pickled jalapeños, coarsely chopped.
  • Mushrooms + Thyme + Grated Gruyère. For a comfy weekend vibe, I drew some inspiration from this dreamy baked eggs recipe. Sauté sliced mushrooms (any kind you like!)
  • Pesto + Sun-Dried Tomatoes. Stuck with a tablespoon or two of bright, basil-y pesto? The yummiest solution is to mix it into your pot of mac and cheese.
