Kraft Thick 'n Creamy Mac & Cheese Macaroni and Cheese Dinner, 7.25 oz Box

Rich, creamy, and easy to make. Perfect comfort food

While I was making this mac and cheese my husband was talking about how he used to make it when he was a kid. He said I was doing it right but I decided it was better to make it in a large stock pot so the water wouldn't boil over due to the starch.I followed the instructions exactly except that I used butter in place of margarine and whole milk in place of 2%. When mixing in the milk, butter and powder in the packet, keep stirring until it turns golden. As you can see it does turn a nice cheddar cheese color after a few minutes.I thought this was a quick easy dinner for two adults or it could feed at least three kids! So it took exactly 20 minutes from start to finish. The boiling of the macaroni took 10 minutes. So the extra 10 minutes is getting the water to boiling point and setting out the other ingredients. I melted the butter in my microwave on the defrost setting because I thought that would speed up the process. Worked great!I also recommend sprinkling on some Kraft shredded sharp cheddar cheese if you want to amp up the cheese flavor even more! That is how I like it! My husband ate it without the extra cheese on it and seemed to be remembering his childhood.Enjoy!~The Rebecca Review

I like this a little better than the original. It is very similar to stouffers frozen mac n cheese. It is 15 calories more per box so it definitely is something different. There is a little more cheesy flavor but not much.I make this with just the pasta water and olive oil and it comes out amazing. It’s healthier and I prefer the taste even better. Worth a try if you don’t have milk or butter

I bought this macaroni and cheese on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. The noodles cook up quickly and have a nice texture, and the cheese sauce is creamy and flavorful—just the right level of cheesy without being overwhelming. It's a quick and easy meal, perfect for busy nights or lazy weekends. The portion size is decent, though I wish it came in a larger family-size option. Also, it's a bit high in sodium, so something to watch if you're monitoring that. Overall, it’s a tasty, satisfying choice for a convenient comfort meal!

I liked it alot it tasted so good creamy and really chessy now too

WHATS NOT TO LIKE ABOUT MAC-N-CHEESE

Actually found the creamy version. I dislike whatever they did to the original

I don’t know what’s going on with Kraft Mac & Cheese, but it’s been absolutely disgusting the last few times I’ve gone to make it! Not sure if they changed something when they changed the name/packaging or what happened. The powder clumps and is impossible to blend it like it should. The last time I made it, I ended up keeping the pasta in the strainer and mixing the powder, milk/heavy cream, and butter in a pan to make a “roux”. While it worked a bit better, it still tasted off. With the effort that I have to put in to make it, I might as well make macaroni and cheese from scratch. Box mac & cheese is supposed to be easy and convenient and it’s not anymore!
