"This is about as close as you will ever get to the real Kraft Mac & Cheese. This recipe goes back to when my son was small, I still make it today and love it just as much. This doesn’t make a whole lot of mac & cheese, so you can double the amounts if desired."

Original is 4-5 servings

This recipe is great! It tastes just like the real thing, although maybe slightly zestier. Will definitely be making this again

I can't even count the amount of times I've made this, it's the most easiest and super great mac and cheese recipe and shame on me for not reviewing it sooner. Five stars all the way for ease and flavor, thanks Kittenkal
