>too fussy to make
1. boil water
2 stir in pasta, cook 8-10 minutes
3 strain pasta
4 add 3 Tbsp of milk
5 sprinkle cheese powder
6 add pasta and combine
[1]
And from kraft its:
1 boil water, stir in pasta, cook 8-10 minutes
2 drain, return to pan
3 add milk, butter, cheese powder and combine
[2]
Its the exact same process either way.
Are you saying you buy kraft dinner boxes and then use only the macaroni noodles (making the rest of the macaroni and cheese from scratch)? Why dont you just buy a box of macaroni noodles?

- pyre 11y agoMaybe the parent post had tried making a rice noodle version? Rice noodles[1] can be a bit more finicky than wheat noodles in my experience[2]. [1] The "Italian pasta made with rice" versions. I'm not talking about Asian rice noodles. [2] The rice noodles tend to give off more starch into the water and you need more water to make them. If you don't have enough water, then it gets super starchy in the pot and easily boils over (and can -- seemingly -- take longer to cook, the starchier the water is).
- jontas 11y agoI don't think that' what he was saying at all. He said he does use real noodles, and was just calling his homemade version "Adult-Kraft".
- jamie_ca 11y agoPretty sure he means: Buy your macaroni in bulk, and just shred a half cup or so of cheddar to stir in with the milk/butter. Prep is the same, but it's actually cheaper to make.
- jdeibele 11y agoWhen I made Annies for the kids my "secret" was to whisk the cheese powder in the milk. It made it much more creamy.
