I cooked dinner last night...[what a surprise], and really wanted to do something different with a regular box of macaroni and cheese. I had two boxes of Kraft Deluxe and decided to mix both boxes even though they were completely different [original & sharp cheddar]. All I can say is this dish was rich and creamy, and affordable. I got everything on sale, spending no more than $7.
You Will Need:2 140z Box of Kraft Mac & Cheese
1 Cup of Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1 CAN of Cream of Mushroom Soup
4oz Sour Cream
1/2 Pint Heavy Whipping Cream
Salt & Pepper
Directions:
PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Cook macaroni as directed on pkg. I cooked mine al dente and did not rinse the pasta once it was drained. Add cheese sauce, mushroom soup, whipping cream, sour cream, and half of your sharp cheddar [reserve the rest to sprinkle on top of the dish] to a medium saucepan on low heat. Cook just until all cheeses has melted, making sure to stir continuously. Add pasta to cheese mixture and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste and transfer the pasta to your baking dish. Sprinkle the remainder of the sharp cheddar cheese on top of the macaroni and cheese dish. Bake until pasta is heated through or top is golden brown.
[I enjoyed those bits of mushrooms...next time I might add some freshly chopped portobello mushrooms]
