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

Ingredients

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.

I usually buy the large block of Velveeta cheese and store any unused cheese in ziploc bags, so I'm forever searching for the recipe. It's easy and fast. My family swears it tastes just like KFC!
