Use milk instead of water.

Add real cheese to the cheese mixture.

Try adding other flavors to the cheese mixture each time you make it.
Paprikia
Black Pepper
Mustard
Ceaser Salad Dressing

For whatever reason mac and cheese tastes better if you let it stand for 10 minutes.

I second adding in fresh diced tomatoes. The biggest problem with instant mac-n-cheese is the slightly cloying/artificial taste of powdered cheese, and the fresh tomatoes cut's that very well.
I'm all in.

Two boxes of Mac and Cheese- Throw out the pasta in one, keep the cheese sauce.
Can of tuna.

This right here. Instead of sacrificing the pasta in one I just melt some real cheese in though. I use some kind of Safeway brand Mac and Cheese which is actually fantastic though so I don't know how it compares to anything else since I'm addicted to it.

Oh, and when I was a kid my dad would make Mac an Cheese with some Bovril in it and that was pretty good too, but I'm sure most boulion type stuff would help.


I eat a safeway brand as well but its also billions of times better just as is that anything kraft ever made in the mac n cheese department.

IMO you can't fix KD but if you get some of the less gross versions some of them even contain things like real cheese (if dried out and powdered) and can taste quite good with just a sprinkling of oregano and Tabasco.

Mix the cheese powder with whatever butter is indicated on the directions, then add some unflavored *yogurt. Top with a dash of cayenne pepper or fresh ground black pepper and some parmesan cheese. Yum!

*(Unflavored yogurt is sharp and tangy like cheese)

20 minute Mac and Cheese with lots for leftovers, maybe.

1. Begin melting 4 tablespoons of butter in a pan over low-medium heat, add in 4 tablespoons of flour halfway through the melting process and let them cook together(stirring constantly) for a few minutes.
2. Add 2 cups of warm milk(or cream if you are a skinny bastard) and whisk it over medium heat until it begins to simmer and thicken.
3. Throw in some of that spice shit(I like salt, pepper, mustard powder, chili flakes and Worcestershire sauce)
4. Add grated sharp cheddar and/or whatever other cheese you like. This white sauce can take a lot of cheese, so play around with however much you like.
5. Stir in your cooked pasta and A) Eat it as it is because it's already delicious, or B) Bake it in the oven with some breadcrumbs(preferably panko and some seasoning on top, like a snowstorm of chili flakes because you are a fucking manly man.)
6. Spend the next month making this and only this.


I'm pretty sure he explicitely stated that he needed advise for making it without the use of an oven though.


I assumed that he had a stovetop or a hot plate. Or do Koreans make all their food in the microwave?

Read #5, part A. It doesn't require an oven.

I always thought normal mac and cheese with milk and butter in the cheese sauce was pretty tasty. I guess I'm just not sophisticated enough.

it really surprised me to see so many people that hate mac and cheese, and so few that like it as is. some ground beef or hot dogs go well with it. I like it better plain

You can thank me later. You may need to head to the store to get some bacon though.

I bought a lot of mac and cheese before I found out how easy it is to make the sauce from scratch.

Melt some butter and stir in an equal amount of flour.
Add some milk
Melt in cheese.
Add any extras you want.

Ratios are about 2 tablespoons butter/flour, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup or more cheese.

If you're a lazy bastard like me, you can do the above steps in a microwave, in the bowl you're going to eat from. The timing works out that you finish the sauce slightly before the pasta is done, so start the pasta first.

Kraft Dinner will never be as awesome as proper macaroni and real, grated cheese.

Yeah. REAL mac and cheese is awesomely good, craft is... well craft. What you have to do is cook your Macaroni in stewed tomatos, strain the water out, and immediately dump the hot macaroni into sharp american cheese. When I say sharp american I don't mean that processed crap. I'm talking real vermont cheddar. Craft has nothing on it.

Sriracha sauce is the answer.

Also, cut up hotdogs or sandwich meats. And lots of pepper.
good vibes only
