I have to agree with Iceblossom. I too, am a fan of the original Kraft mac and cheese in the box. It was something that I never had growing up, in fact any noodles we had were either in soup or served with a cream gravy (which is absolutely delicious if one starts with the fat left from cooking sausages). As a Mom, I made a lot of pasta with various sauces but never mac and cheese. Just seemed like way more trouble than opening one (or two) of those blue boxes.
Secrets--add halved cherry tomatoes, or a dash of hot sauce, and ketchup is always a necessity of course!
