What are some recipes you make using Kraft dinner (macaroni and cheese)?

My absolute favorite and easiest in the world!


Cook mac and cheese as usual. While pasta is boiling, brown 1lb. of hamburger meat (or turkey works well too!). When browned, drain fat and return to pan. Add 1 teaspoon basil and one can of Italian stewed tomatoes; heat through. Once mac and cheese is made (follow box directions), add meat and mix well. Place in baking dish and bake 350 for 10-15 minutes. I personally add a little sprinkling of cheddar cheese before baking----YUMMY!What are some recipes you make using Kraft dinner (macaroni and cheese)?

Chili mac:


You'll need:


1 box mac and cheese


1 can chili (I usually use Hormel's but store brand is fine)


1 onion, diced


milk, the amount called for by the mac and cheese


butter, the amount called for by the mac and cheese


coarsely broken tortilla chips





Boil macaroni, but maybe make it a little bit extra al dente.





As it is cooking, in a separate pan (I use cast iron so it can go in the oven) saute a diced onion in oil or butter. When it is slightly caramelized, add a can of chili to the pan with the onion. Also add the cheese packet, milk, and butter or margarine.





Stir, and add the macaroni to the chili, along with any other ingredients you like, like hot sauce, diced tomato, corn, whatever you like. Stir.





Sprinkle with coarsely broken tortilla chips. The broken ones left in the bottom of a bag are good for this.





Bake in a 350 degree oven for around 10 minutes, keep an eye on it so the chips don't burn. Eat with sour cream.
diced chicken, roast beef, turkey, whatever meats you have, you will need about 1 to 2 cups.


1 or 2 small cans mushroom pieces, drained


1 can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted





cook the mac according to the instructions up to draining it. Do drain then toss back into the kettle. Add the mushroom soup, mushroom pieces, 1/2 soup can milk or half n half, then stir in the meat.





Now you can add any frozen veggies you like. I like broccoli flowerettes in this.
you can add just about anything to it and it will be delicious


my favs are cut up some ham and broccoli after cooking it as normal


you could also add cooked bacon and tomato after cooking it as normal and then put it in a casserole dish sprinkle cheese on top and bake until golden brown
I like to make it like it says on the box but I add a can of tuna and a can of mushrooms and 2 slices of chedder cheese and stir it all in well.
the kraft website has hundreds of suggestions for using it.
sometimes i will add vegetables like celery, carrotts peas and corn or a can of tuna and mushroom soup in with my kraft dinner
I add a can of tuna drained


you can also add can of cream of chicken with the tuna
