KRAFT DELUXE MACARONI AND CHEESE CLONE



Kraft Deluxe Macaroni and Cheese Clone image

This is a clone of the sauce that comes in the foil package from Kraft Deluxe Mac and Cheese, this is just as good if not even better, and cost a lot less than the boxed, the cheese sauce takes minutes to make and may used for other recipes also -- this does not make a huge amount so you may wish to double.

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.

KRAFT® MAC AND CHEESE TUNA CASSEROLE



Kraft® Mac and Cheese Tuna Casserole image

I call this a classic tuna casserole because it is made with a boxed macaroni and cheese and the basic ingredients we all grew up with. This is comfort food at it's best, my two favorites mixed together. This is so good that I took a picture of it after having it for dinner and decided it should be shared on my favorite recipe site. You will love it too.
