I had Kraft Mac and Cheese (the blue box) only once as a kid. When my Mom made mac and cheese it was always homemade. One time when I was visiting my Dad, I asked for mac and cheese for dinner, he made the stuff in the blue box, I hated it. I've tried it again a handful of times as an adult, and it's ehhh at best. Now, those flavor packets do sound interesting.

Steps to improving box mac 'n cheese: - Add a little more butter than the box calls for - After you drain your noodles, mix the sauce in the saucepan without the noodles, add the noodles after the sauce comes together - While you're mixing up your sauce, add in extra seasonings: black pepper, garlic powder, cayenne, parsley, chives, whatever you want. You can also add extra cheese to the sauce at this stage. I usually throw two slices of American cheese in there

While I dont really consider Kraft Dinners real Mac N Cheese, I grew up with it, so I don't find it so shocking. I checked a box in my cupboard, and you are right. The US version does not use the elbows anymore. The noodles look more like the Canadian version, but not as big. When I make Kraft, I add a few things and change the directions a little. First, when I add the milk, I leave the pan on the stove and turn on the heat very low. I add the butter and let it melt, then add a handful of shredded cheese. I stir the cheese powder in last. Then I add some fine bread crumbs, some garlic and onion powder and some salt and ground pepper to taste. It steps it up a little. Thanks again! 🤗

Green mac n cheese is actually really good. If you blend a roasted poblano or hatch green chile sauce in there. It's a staple in the Southwest. The green chile adds a slight sweetness and bitterness that balances out the overwhelming richness of mac n cheese. But it does have that pale green color that Emmy was afraid the jalapeño KD would have.

I have heard that Americans eat it as a side dish and mainly for kids. In Canada we tend to eat it as a whole meal and adults eat it about as much as kids do in my exerience. That's part of why they sell more here. It's very popular. You can even get it in some restaurants and one of my favourite burger places (The Works in Ottawa) has it on one of their burgers. I even know a recipe for pepared then frozen, breaded, and deep fried KD bites.

When I was a kid, a family friend actually quit babysitting me over KD. She was insecure about "being good" at making KD, but I was insistent that we just had to read the box. Finally when it was ready, she asked me if it was any good, and I told her it just needed one thing. I proceeded to dump a metric ton of ketchup into my bowl (honestly it's still how I like my KD now). To make matters worse, this was the early 2000s, and I had convinced my parents to let me get the holy grail of ketchup, Heinz EZ Squeeze in PURPLE. Looking back, I'm amazed she didn't vomit then and there
