    Title: Kraft Deluxe Original Macaroni & Cheese Dinner
    Categories: Copycat, Pasta
    Yield: 4 Cups

    8 c Water
    2 c Uncooked elbow macaroni
    1/3 c Cheddar cheese; shredded
    1/2 c Cheez Whiz
    2 tb Whole milk
    1/4 ts Salt

    It's time to clone America's best-selling brand of instant macaroni &
    cheese. This recipe is for the "Deluxe" variety of this popular
    product--that is, the one that comes with an envelope of thick cheese
    sauce, rather than the dry, powdered cheese. I think the "Deluxe"
    version, with it's two-cheese blend, is the better tasting of the
    two, although it's gonna hit you a bit harder in the wallet at the
    supermarket. But now, with this Top Secret Recipe, you can make
    creamy macaroni & cheese that taste like Kraft's original at a
    fraction of the price of the real deal. You gotta love that!

    Bring 8 cups (2 qt) water to a boil over high heat in a large
    saucepan. Add elbow macaroni to water and cook for 10 to 12 minutes
    or until tender, stirring occasionally.

    As macaroni boils, prepare sauce by combining cheddar cheese, Cheez
    Whiz, and milk in a small saucepan over medium low heat. Stir cheese
    mixture often as it heats, so that it does not burn. Add salt. When
    all of the cheddar cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth, cover
    pan and set aside until macaroni is ready.

    When macaroni is ready, strain water, but do not rinse the macaroni.

    Using the same pan you prepared the macaroni in, combine the macaroni
    with the cheese sauce, and mix well.

    I like my mom's recipe:
    Title: Mom's Cheddar Cheese Sauce

    Thanks, that looks good. I'd rather have something homemade with love than
    eat an imitation of a corporate boxed pasta product. Here's another
    cheese sauce recipe that looks good to me.

    Spread the whipped cheese over the base of a plate or flat bowl.
    Spoon the roasted tomatoes over the cheese along with any oil from
    the pan.

    Drizzle the entire plate with honey and garnish with a few additional
    sprigs of basil before serving with crusty bread and a spoon.
