  • 1-1/3 cups hot water

  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine

  • 1/4 cup milk

  • 7.25 ounce package of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese.

  • In a 2qt microwave-safe dish add 1-1/3 cups water. Heat the water for one minute.

  • Pour the pasta from the box into the hot water (be sure to remove the packet of cheese sauce first!).

  • Stir the pasta and put the uncovered dish in the microwave oven for 5-7 minutes on HIGH (this time may vary depending on your microwave oven). It is very important to stir the pasta every 1-2 minutes to avoid having the pasta stick together. You will know the pasta has been cooked long enough when there is no longer water in the dish. Do not overcook.

  • Once the water is absorbed, remove the dish from the microwave oven. Add 1/4 cup butter or margarine and mix together with the pasta.

  • Next add the cheese sauce that was included in the box along with 1/4 cup milk.

  • Blend all of the ingredients together until the pasta is well coated with the cheese sauce. Enjoy!
