Ingredients
- 1 box Kraft Deluxe Macaroni and Cheese
- 4 cups water
- 2 tbsp butter

Instructions
- Gather all ingredients: 1 box Kraft Deluxe Macaroni and Cheese, 4 cups water, 2 tablespoons butter, and 1/4 cup milk.
- Fill a medium-sized saucepan with 4 cups of water and place on high heat. Bring water to a rolling boil.
- Once boiling, add the entire contents of macaroni from the box to the water. Stir gently to prevent pasta from sticking.
- Reduce heat to medium-high and cook pasta for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender but not mushy.
- Drain pasta in a colander, shaking to remove excess water.
- Return drained pasta to the same pan and reduce heat to low.
- Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 1/4 cup of milk to the pasta.
- Open the cheese sauce packet and pour entire contents over the pasta.
- Stir thoroughly and continuously for 1-2 minutes until pasta is evenly coated and sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Remove from heat and let stand for 1-2 minutes before serving.
- Serve hot and enjoy your Kraft Deluxe Macaroni and Cheese.
Tips
- Use fresh, cold milk and real butter for the richest, creamiest sauce possible.
- Stir the pasta occasionally while cooking to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Don't overcook the pasta - aim for al dente to maintain the perfect texture.
- For extra richness, consider using whole milk instead of low-fat milk.
- If the sauce seems too thick, add a tiny splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture - mac and cheese is always best when it's hot and fresh!
- For added nutrition, consider mixing in some steamed vegetables or diced chicken.
