Answer 1

To make Kraft Macaroni and Cheese you boil the water. When it's boiled you pour the box of Macaroni into the pot. Then stir occasionally. In about 8-9 minutes pour it into a colinder. Then put it into a pot or a container and put the cheese sauce mix into it with butter and milk. Then stir. Then ENJOY !

Answer 2

Here's how I make homemade macaroni & cheese:

1. Boil your macaroni noodles. Set them aside in a casserole dish.

2. Grate 8 oz. of cheddar cheese. Set aside.

3. Make your cheese sauce:

# Melt about 1/4 cup of butter or margarine in a saucepan.

# Add about 1/4 cup of all purpose flour to the melted butter. Mix well.

# Slowly add milk, about 1/4 cup at a time, stirring in between. Continue adding milk until your sauce is rich and thick, yet still a bit liquidy (kind of like pancake batter).

# Slowly add your grated cheese, stirring constantly until you have a thick cheese sauce. 4. Pour the cheese sauce all over the cooked macaroni. Stir in well.

5. Bake at 350 F for about 30 minutes (or until bubbly and golden brown).

There are hundreds of versions of Mac and Cheese. The easiest way to make it at home is to use a cheese product like Velveeta that melts very easily. Boil you macaroni and drain it. Put it back in the pot and add cubes of Velveeta and a few tablespoons of butter along with about 1/2 cup of milk. Heat this mixture stirring so you melt the cheese. You can add more cheese or more milk as you like to make it cheesier or more liquid.

Answer 5

I like mine really soupy fyi. So you boil the pasta according to the package. Meanwhile, melt some velveeta, milk, and a tiny bit of butter in the microwave or over a stove. Make however much you want and however soupy you want it. Then just pour it over the pasta and eat it.
