Beef Up your Mac and Cheese
We did use the powdered cheese because the kids like it like this and it is not something we do that often. You can opt out of the powdered cheese and add in extra shredded cheese and maybe a little cream cheese. You will make the meat and the mac and cheese separately and when done I combine for each dish individually, not all together. Enjoy!
