UPGRADED KRAFT MAC N CHEESE RECIPE - FOOD.COM



Upgraded Kraft Mac N Cheese Recipe - Food.com 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.

Total Time 40 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (14 ounce) package Kraft macaroni and cheese (dinner, blue box)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper or 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
6 butter flavored crackers, crushed (like Ritz)
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Prepare Mac n Cheese dinner as directed on package.
  • Stir in 1/2 cup of the Cheddar cheese, the sour cream and pepper.
  • Spoon into greased 1-1/2 quart baking dish; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese.
  • Combine the melted butter and cracker crumbs and sprinkle over the top.
  • Bake at 375 for 20 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

COPYCAT CHICK-FIL-A MAC AND CHEESE RECIPE | TOP SECRET RECIPES
The new Mac & Cheese at Chick-fil-A is baked fresh every day, and the recipe is more complex than you might expect from a fast food chicken chain. According to the official list of ingredients, the formula includes several different kinds of cheese including Parmesan, Romano, and award-winning hard cheese from Wisconsin called BellaVitano. The BellaVitano cheese adds a subtle nuttiness to the mix and all three hard cheeses contribute big umami flavor that nicely complements the blend of white and yellow cheddars. Those five kinds of cheese combine to make a great flavor, but the blend would melt into a greasy mess if it weren’t for the assistance of one more ubiquitous cheese: American. The benefit of American cheese—which makes up for its lack of flavor—is found in the sodium citrate it contains. This natural sodium salt is an emulsifier that keeps the fat in the cheese from separating (and it also happens to be useful in preventing kidney stones!). By first melting several slices of American cheese in the milk we don’t need to make a roux to create a perfectly smooth cheese sauce. As for cooking the macaroni, here’s another secret: don’t follow the directions on the box for al dente pasta, because you don’t want the pasta to be al dente, or slightly tough. You want to cook the elbow macaroni for 20 minutes so that it absorbs as much water as possible. This will ensure that the pasta won’t suck up liquid in the cheese sauce when they are combined, and the sauce will maintain a perfectly creamy consistency.       If you like this copycat Chick-fil-A mac and cheese recipe, click here for more Chick-fil-A clone recipes.
