Hopefully, I’m not the only one here with a case of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese in my basement thanks to the Meijer deal this past weekend. So, just in case you’re also looking for ways to be creative and “rock the box,” here are some interesting ideas (and a video demonstration):

Great ideas!!! I can’t believe how much mac n cheese I have in the basement!!! My husband thinks I’m CRAZY. I tried to explain that I had totake the mac n cheese to get the free drink boxes and cookies.

Thanks! It’s so funny. I told my husband the same thing… “In order to get all the juice, I HAD to buy the mac n cheese!” Thank God that my family loves it. Can’t wait to try out the new recipes!

I was just saying to my husband that who says you need to use the cheese packet that it comes with? Now it just means plain pasta that can be used in all kinds of dishes.
Renea says
Ellen.. I told my hubby the same thing!.. LOL
My fave way to use just the cheese packet is when we use the hot air popper for pop corn, I mist the corn with butter flavor cooking spray(so the cheese will stick) and then sprinkle the cheese over it!.. YUMM!
