MY FAVORITE MAC N CHEESE



My Favorite Mac N Cheese image

This is the creamiest, most yummy homemade mac-n-cheese I've ever eaten. Most homemade macaroni and cheese is grainy, to me, but not this one! And you can make it on the stove top for a quick meal, or in a crockpot for later. You can also make this up and freeze it for OAMC. I like to add sliced hot dogs mixed in for fun, or add cooked broccoli, peas, or whatever you like mixed into your mac-n-cheese.

MY FAVORITE MACARONI AND CHEESE



My Favorite Macaroni and Cheese image

My favorite way to eat mac 'n cheese from a box (like Kraft's Macaroni & Cheese). The salsa added, makes it taste sooo good!

Provided by Cindi M Bauer

Categories     Cheese

Time 12m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (7 1/4 ounce) box Kraft macaroni and cheese
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
1/4 cup milk
4 -5 tablespoons salsa (*See note)

Steps:

  • Prepare the mac'n cheese according to package directions. (I have also made this using the 7.25 oz. box of Kraft's Thick & Creamy Macaroni & Cheese, and it tastes just as good, or even better, but you will need to add a 1/2 cup of milk as stated on the box).
  • Just before serving (and while still hot), stir in the salsa.
  • *Note: Whenever I make this recipe adding salsa that's has more heat to it (like my husbands homemade 'hot' salsa), I only add 4 tablespoons to the mac 'n cheese, but if I use a store bought brand that's not so hot, and is a medium-heat tasting salsa, then I'll add 5 tablespoons of the salsa.
