you know what; I never thought about that before LOL that is a good question silly as some may think it sounds. Especially if you are not that skilled in the kitchen. I have a few friends who dont know how to cook much so I am very understanding to your question. I thought about it and this is my personal opinion. I would add the butter first because once you add the milk it will cook down the pasta and the butter might not melt properly or distribute evenly. After I have made sure all the butter was melted evenly throughout the pasta I would add the milk. If I were to add the powder cheese mix next it wouldnt break down properly but clump because their is no liquid to break it up and that is why I would add the milk next. and last of all the cheese mix. Make sure you mix all of this very well. Sometimes I would also add a little grated parmesan cheese. I hope my advice helps you. I am 48 years old and my mother had me cooking since the age of 3. I was the first 3 year old that owned her own carving knife LOL. But my mom was there to guide me on how to use it right and to respect the knife as a tool and not a toy. she even got me a small stool so I could reach the stove. I sure miss her at times but she remains in my heart and I am thankful for all she taught me. so I am glad if I can pass along some of her tips, recipes, and words of wisdom.

Heat your milk slowly, do not let it boil! Once your milk is steaming or even simmering you can add the butter. Use shreaded cheese and add a moderate amount to the milk. Let it melt and add more as you like a little at a time until you get the consistency you want. If you are going to bake it in a mac & cheese dish, you want it a tiny bit thin as baking will continue to thicken it as it cooks. You can thicken it by using corn starch mixed into COLD milk. Mix it very well and add it to your cheese sauce in VERY SMALL amount at a time. A little goes a long way and I mean a long way. Better to add a very small amount at a time, you can always add more, but you can never take it back out. Go easy on any seasoning you want to use, especially salt.

Ha Ha
I 'm single
I use 1/3 c of the pasta I boil for 5+ min until I see they are swolen and flexible..
Drain,, I mix 1/2 a cube of butter and blend,, then back on the fire,, I add milk just to cover the bottom,, and add the WHOLE pack of cheese,, add a little more milk and blend the cheese,,, again I add a little milk untill it boils..the chese will thicken as it cools..
But I cover it and wait
Because I also add my french cut green beans ,,a dash of yellow corn,, and some fried burger or tuna
I also some at times add broccoli and or cauliflowerI let them simmer (steam) another few minuets I add milk as I feel to thin.
short cooking the pasta allowes it to absorb some more water or milk
I use the left over past for a macaroni salad for the week end
or toss it cooked to the birds.

Read the instructions carefully, as it tells you exaclty how to fix it. If you want it thicker, add less milk. I use the Kraft Mac 'n Cheese in the blue wide box that contains macaroni & a foil cheese pouch. It tastes so much better than the one with the powdered cheese. Cream cheese in your mac'n cheese? I'll pass. :)

I add the butter first so it melts. Then the milk, then the cheese powder. If it's thin, I add 2 slices of Kraft American cheese slices torn up. That gets it not only thicker, but cheesier!

My guess would be that it is 100% pork free. Unless you put delicious hot dogs into it. :) Ingredients: Macaroni: Enriched Wheat Flour, Cheddar Cheese Sauce: Modified Milk Ingredients, Cheese (Milk, Bacterial Culture, Salt Rennet and Microbial Enzyme, Calcium Chloride, Lipase), Salt, Sodium Phosphates, Citric Acid, Color (Contains Tartrazine).
