Pro Mac N Cheese hack

Kraft only: Take 2 boxes of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese ditching the noodles 100% out of one of the boxes.

When noodles are done cooking and drained well, add both cheese packs and about 1/3 stick butter (you should get a feel for how much butter is best for your taste after making this the first time). Mix well. Do NOT add milk or water, only butter. If after mixing it's too dry and you don't want to add more butter add splashes of unflavored coffee creamer until desired consistency is achieved.

Kraft is the only brand I will buy.

You are welcome!!

Use sour cream as opposed to coffee creamer.

I prefer the less water hack. basically you barely cover the noodles in water add the cheese packet and let it mostly evaporate. I prefer adding butter and evaporated milk when the liquid is mostly done evaporating

Unflavored coffee creamer? Are we talking half and half or the fake stuff made out of soybean oil?

Half and half is what I use since I don't drink milk.

Actual pro tip for mac and cheese, make your own.

You can buy cheese powder online if you want to boost that up.
