Hello so I've been eating this to save money, but if you know how to cook it, it's amazing. Today I will teach you the secret of how making a cheese into cheese sauce.
You need Knorr [Cheesey Cheddar], [cheddar broccoli] or [creamy garlic], I recommend cheesey Cheddar as your entry into this brand, they are sold as cheap as 4 packs for 4 dollars sometimes 1$ a pack.
Inside the pack it's pasta and powder, you put it into your cooking pan with about 2 cups of water, you can just eyeball it, and if you want you can optionally add milk or butter, usually I add a tiny splash of almond milk.
Set the heat to medium and use a wooden spoon to stir, have a joint ready or something to watch from your phone cuz it gonna be sitting there casually stirring for about 12-15 minutes
While stirring you can add any spices, like crushed red pepper, chipotle seasoning, paprika, basil, oregano, salt and pepper, garlic powder, really … Anything u have around, you can add it to your own beautiful concoction.
The goal is to make the pasta noodles soft, the powder from the packet doesn't really turn into a cheese sauce and to get the cheese sauce you will learn in the next section, when you are done most of the wet stuff from the pan will have evaporated and in that process your left with your cooked Mac without the cheese, but that's fine because you can read the cheese sauce section next
Okay and here's the part youve been waiting for, this is how to make a cheese sauce
You must set the heat in the pan to low, and give it a minute or two to cool from medium heat to low heat, and what you need is two things, a bag of cheese and lemon juice.
You dump in your bag of cheese or however much cheese you want to use and then you squirt a bunch of lemon juice onto the cheese.
The lemon juice is an acid, and when adding an acid to cheese while cooking on low heat, this is the secret to making a cheese sauce. Cheese sauce is made when you get an acid mixed with a cheese so then as the cheese melts the outcome is a cheese sauce.
Now that you understand that adding acid to cheese and heating on low makes cheese sauce you now have all the knowledge to make cheap Mac and cheese.
I hope you enjoyed my tutorial and I hope you eat a good cheesey Mac and cheese too!!

Acid is very important for cheese sauces, which is why a roux-based sauce is so good for cheeses.
