Overview
Kraft packs macaroni pasta and an original flavor cheese sauce mix into one box, and the cook adds milk and margarine or butter at the stove.
Fast stovetop prep and a familiar flavor make it an easy side or kids' meal. The description suggests adding protein or vegetables to dress it up. Calories and nutrition are not listed.
Who it's for
Busy households and anyone who wants a quick dinner side fit it. The mix is not self-contained, so it does not suit someone without milk and butter or margarine on hand.
Pros and cons
- No artificial ingredients
- Short cooking time
- Familiar original flavor
- Easy to dress up
- Needs milk and butter
- Contains milk and wheat
- Nutrition panel not listed
Performance notes
The macaroni boils in water and the powdered cheese mix becomes a sauce with milk and butter, so the result depends on those additions. The directions are specific on water and time but give no other tips.
