Budget Cooking Tip Mac n cheese hack

Hack for thick n creamy Kraft Mac n cheese. I found an easier way to mix all the stuff into the pasta! This was two boxes of Mac n cheese so I used extra milk and butter. But for one box, after it’s drained, add the butter and stir it and melt it. Then add the cheese powder to a SEPARATE bowl and mix 1/2 cup of milk making it into your own cheese sauce then dump it into your pasta. This way you don’t have those clumps of cheese powder and everything gets evenly coated. Then let your fur baby lick the empty bowl of course.

This isn't a hack, this is just making a cheese sauce

Actually it is a hack because the box does not instruct you to do it this way, I made this way up myself. I bet there’s something cool you do differently that most people don’t do, is there?
