This is a clone of the sauce that comes in the foil package from Kraft Deluxe Mac and Cheese, this is just as good if not even better, and cost a lot less than the boxed, the cheese sauce takes minutes to make and may used for other recipes also - this does not make a huge amount so you may wish to double. Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups dry uncooked macaroni noodles |
2 tablespoons butter |
1/3 cup grated old cheddar cheese (measure 1/3 cup lightly packed shredded cheddar) |
1/2 cup kraft cheez whiz |
2 tablespoons half-and-half cream (can use milk) |
1 pinch salt |
Directions:
1. Cook the macaroni in a large pot of boiling water until just tender (about 12 to 10 minutes) strain but DO NOT rinse.
2. Transfer the hot macaroni to a bowl then toss with 2 tablespoons butter; set aside.
3. For the cheese sauce (make this while you are cooking the macaroni) over lowest heat setting in a small saucepan combine the grated cheddar cheese, Cheeze Whiz, cream and salt; stir continuously until heated and smooth watching closely so that it does not burn.
4. Pour the smooth sauce over the cooked macaroni; mix until combined.
5. Serve immediately.
