RECIPES USING BOXED MAC AND CHEESE RECIPES

Steps:

• Combine onion and sausage in a pan over medium-high heat and cook until the sausage is no longer pink, and the onion is translucent. Drain grease and set aside.
• Prepare macaroni and cheese according to package instructions. Cook macaroni noodles for 8-10 minutes or until al dente. Do not overcook pasta.
• Drain water and stir in cheese powder, butter or margarine, and milk until butter has melted.
• Add macaroni and cheese, rotel, and 1 cup cheddar cheese into the sausage and stir to combine. Cook over medium heat until cheese has melted, about 3-5 minutes.
• Turn down heat to medium-low and sprinkle remaining 1 cup cheese over the top of the macaroni and sausage mixture. Cover and cook until cheese has melted.
• Sprinkle with cilantro (optional) and serve. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Cook the macaroni in boiling water until it's as tender as you'd like it.
• Drain the macaroni in a colander, set aside.
• In the same pan over medium heat, melt the 1/8 cup margarine, then add the cheese powder. Stir until smooth with a wire whisk.
• Add the 3/4 cup of milk, a little bit at a time, mixing it with the wire whisk, like you were making gravy, stirring constantly over medium heat. As it thickens up, add some more milk until all the milk is added. Bring the mixture up to the point of boiling so that it's thick. Then add the cheese and whisk again until smooth and melted.
• Now remove from heat and add the drained macaroni. You're ready to serve and your macaroni will be creamy instead of that yellow runny stuff around your noodles.
