If you're hoping to make it creamier, add more solid fat (butter, cream cheese) and less liquid fat (milk). Also, for depth of flavor, you could mix in a tablespoon of dry ground mustard. Finally, if you have 10 extra minutes, make your boxed macaroni and cheese, mix it with the mustard and some shredded cheddar, and bake it until the added cheese melts. If you would like extra texture, add breadcrumbs to the top.

Use a little more butter than it calls for and you can cut back on the milk. If you have a little shredded cheddar cheese, you can sprinkle that on top while the mac & cheese is still warm. A tsp. of parmasan cheese mixed in, gives it a little zip too.

Follow the directions, but you can add veggies, diced meats, etc.... You can also add extra cheddar and then grate some fresh Romano cheese on top and pop it in the oven for a bit until the cheese is a golden brown... yum!!

Here are some of my favorites:
1. Add cream cheese (plain or with chives and herbs)
2. Add crumbled bacon and peas
3. Make tuna casserole
4. Add 1 T mustard
5. Add some crumbled blue or feta cheese
6. A can of diced green chilis, ground beef and cheddar cheese.
7. Mix with some salsa
8. Add diced chicken, green chilis, and cream cheese

buy the box with the cheese sauce in it...a little more expensive, but worth it. Or just pour melted velveeta over pasta. Thin with a little milk.

I make the whole box but only half the Pasta... but all cheese and often add more.
Extra half of the pasta is tossed for the birds...

i always use more butter and less milk then they tell me to! to make it a nice creamy man n cheese rather then a plain or too liquidy one!! and if you have it grate some cheddar chesse and throw it in and mix it when its done or on top or both!! makes it more cheesier!!

you can add some slices of Velveeta, or block cheese, like craft medium Cheddar.
