susiewho's Full Review: Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Spiral, 5.5 Oz Boxes (Pack...
Kraft Mac & Cheese seems to be the national food of children of all ages. My grand kids can all be trusted to devour a bowlful without a fuss or dollops of ketchup.
My daughter manages to sneak in broccoli and chicken when she serves this staple. She started out using the Pampered Chef Food Chopper to pummel the broccoli into almost unrecognizable pieces that she told her kids were sprinkles. Clever!
You can also make a great tuna bake with the Kraft Mac n Cheese Spirals. Just add tuna, drained, from a can. We also add some frozen peas for more color. For some reason my daughter , now a Mom, still remembers this with love.
Kraft happens to make the best tasting version of Mac & Cheese and this version is little spirals just to change things up a bit. The kids like the different shapes so they were quite happy with spirals as opposed to the usual tubes. I find the spirals hold the sauce better.It's also a little meal that kids can help with. They can sprinkle the powdered cheese on the noodles. They can do a little stirring and they can be challenged to come up with interesting foods to add to the Mac & Cheese.
You can turn this up to high and make it gourmet by adding Fontina Cheese and Chanterelles or go Mexican with Kraft Mac & Cheese Spirals by adding Cilantro and Jack Cheese, try Swiss Cheese and Ham added to the mix. This can be more than an easy kid fix it can be a beautiful side dish for guests with a little creativity.
Other forms are Kraft shells, Kraft traditional elbows, Dinosaurs, Sponge Bob shapes, Scooby Doo, Shells, and more. New shapes keep the kiddies interested.
Just like your typical Kraft Mac & Cheese this is extremely easy to prepare on the stove or in the microwave. This is still your basic mixed with a cheese flavored powder, milk, and butter recipe.The noodles and the cheese packet come in the box. You provide the rest. You can add more cheese, cheddar cheese, vegetables, different meats or whatever suits you and your family.
Directions: You boil water, add the spiral noodles and cook according to the time on the package/box which is about 8 minutes (give or take). Once the noodles have cooked you drain them, return to them to the pot or serving dish, then add the powdered cheese sauce, butter, and milk. Mix all this together and serve. One box of Macaroni and Cheese Spirals is 5.5 oz and will serve about 2 people. For my three grand girls it feeds them all, for my two grandsons it feeds just the two.
You can find these on sale for as little as .25/box. This makes a super cost effective, family oriented and tasty meal.
