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.
