Jazz up Boxed Macaroni and Cheese - With 6 Variations image

6 different ways to jazz up a box of mac & cheese. I found this recipe in Woman's World. I thought this is very simple easy to make and super fast! So far I've only made the Meatlovers Special Supper and I forgot the added salami or pepperoni.
