I grew to like it - and no it's not Kraft like. Not imo. I add a little hotsauce and pour it over green beans. I actually like the one with beef better then the other.

So wanted to start this one for food tips.

Tonight I had the mac and cheese and didn't like it. I have one more of those and one of the mach and cheese with beef. Plus in my next order I have two more coming. Ugg. Wish I tried them before my next order had gone through.

Any tips to make it better. I know mac and cheese by kraft in the States is different then ours in Canada (known as Kraft Dinner). So I don't know if that has to do with why I don't like it. Maybe it's closer to the States one then Canada's?

i found a recipe on the NS site that i tweaked a bit... i'll eat mac and cheese but it's not something i'd eat if given options. this seems to make it rather tasty though and i actually buy one a month now for this recipe....

i cook the mac and cheese as directed then move it to an oven safe bowl.then add a PF worth of imitation crab meat cut up into small pieces, a limited extra worth of ff/lf cheese, top with a serving of panko breadcrumbs. spray a bit of pam on the bread crumbs then broil in the oven until the breadcrumbs start to brown.

uses up two limited extras but makes it MUCH better IMO and rather filling too

I like the idea of the panko breadcrumbs and broiling under the oven. I will have to try that next time I make this but will stay with my ham and cheddar cheese stick instead of the crab meat. I like crab meat just doesn't appeal to me in mac and cheese. Thanks for the idea.

Hi
As was mentioned I like the mac & Cheese with Beef better. However You can try adding a Limited Extra of Real Bacon Bits for taste. The Hormel is 25 calories for a Tbsp so You could go slightly over if needed for taste. Bacon & Cheese, Yummy to me.

Cheers
