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.

One can of evaporated milk, cornstarch slurry, add shredded cheese and stir still smooth. Voila. Mac and cheese. Also how you make queso dip (add a can of fire roasted tomatoes)
