yes, here is what you do:
- add some fresh basil
- add kashkaval cheese
- add pineapple slices

>add pineapple slices

1. add black pepper

2. add ketchup, bbq sauce, hot sauce, or steak sauce

3. add hamburger

These are options for you

Add one of these in. It is so good I promise

>>16012951
- 1 tsp of nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp mustard
- handful of shredded extra mature cheddar
- cracked black pepper

Add broccoli or brussel sprouts

Here's what I do as someone who doesn't like adding mix-ins to Kraft dinner.

In a separate pan melt together the milk and butter, then add in the cheese powder, whisk until it turns into a sauce and set aside. Cook the pasta per package directions and drain off any extra water (you want it as dry as possible. Combine with the sauce.

Boom. Same nostalgically bland and vaguely cheesy Kraft mac, but slightly better and not watery.

Only correct response so far. You have to prepare it as if you're preparing real macaroni and cheese.

If you're lazy as fuck just add twice as much butter and don't add any milk.

There is no point in those extra steps you autist

>>16013093
I don't like watery Kraft you miserable chode.

>>16013096
why would it be watery the normal way?

>>16013098
In the normal preparation, you don't evaporate some of the extra moisture out of the milk and butter by preparing the cheese separately.

>>16012951
It just ain't same anymore without the canned tin

>>16013096
If your KD is watery than your doing it wrong. If you cant make KD you dont belong on /ck/.

fuck off, leaf

>how to make Kraft Mac better?
Buy something else

>>16012951
Replace the milk with heavy cream, and add real cheddar in addition to the powder, for starters. It still needs some bacon, or some tomatoes stewed with oregano, or both to make it palatable though.

>>16012951
Make it from scratch, it’s not hard

>>16012951
Couple squirts of sriracha works pretty well. Oh, and be very high.

>>16013043
isn't this how you're supposed to do it? this is how i grew up doing it. isn't this what the box says to do?
melting the butter and mixing in the milk and cheese powder before putting the noodles back in is the only way to get a good consistency with the cheese, otherwise you get chunks of powder. is everyone retarded?

Add one of the following:
3 sliced Nathan’s hotdogs
or
1 can of tuna, drained.

>>16012951
peas and smoked paprika

Use sour cream instead of milk

>>16012951
no way to make mac and cheese edibler than it already is lol

The trick is to buy the right Mac in the first place.

Annie's is the worst. I have never found a more bland mac and cheese in my entire life.

>>16015411
Did you try the one I posted? That's weird if so because it's so much better than kraft. Even the regular kind is better than kraft, but especially the white cheddar.

>>16015446
not him, but i have tried it. i wanted to like it, because it looks like it should be better than kraft. i've just had too much kraft in my life. annie's might be objectively better but i will never realize it; kraft will always be king.

>>16012951
Try using plain yogurt for the sauce. Annies sharp cheddar shells are better btw. You can add some garlic and finely chopped jalapeños, and some extra cheese like smoked gouda. Not something you want to eat everyday but it's nice to have if you're too lazy to cook anything else.

it's not that bad just less msg and seasoning. just pure macaroni and cheese powder with additives and preservatives. i guess it's hard to admit a childhood classic that's still around isn't really all that great...

>>16015581
Annies is the best boxed Mac and cheese you just need to be a bit creative.

I like adding black pepper, a few onces of cream cheese, and just a bit of salt with onion and garlic powder so I can enhance the kraft flavor without over powering it. Milk and butter as usual.

I mix ground Italian sausage in with it and only eat the spiral one. Usually adding dead animals spices things up nicely.

>>16015591
annie's is kino if made right

This is mac and cheese. From a box. The cheese substance is powdered. There is no "preparing," you self-important dipshit.

>>16017445
I assume you drain the pasta and dump the powder on and eat it as it sits without preparing it with the other ingredients?

>>16012951
Use some chicken stock when boiling

Cook the macaroni as instructed, but add in some browned hamburger and about 2-3 stalks of thinly sliced celery that you've cooked with the burger.

>>16012951
Smoked paprika and tarragon

>>16012951
Since when does KD call for 2 fucking tbsp of butter? Is that the american version?

>don't use milk, just use more butter. if you like watery/runny mac and cheese you're a fucking slob who doesn't know any better
>add another real cheese while you mix, I like parmesean myself
>add bacon

>>16012951
cutup hotdogs and use two cheese packets. also make the pasta aldente or however you say it

>>16012951
Replace one of the tablespoons of butter with lard or some sort of animal fat.

Top fucking tier.

I just replace the milk with heavy cream.

>>16012951
normally i'd say salt and pepper, but if you haven''t tried sauce first then pasta (and vice versa) then try different butter.

>>16012958
>pineapple
what the fuck is wrong with you

>>16012958
>add pineapple slices
Leave.
Now.
