When Things Get Interesting

After you’ve boiled the water, cooked the pasta, and mixed in the cheese sauce, that’s when it’s time to have some fun. Normally, this stage would be the time to eat your meal, but we advise you to take a step back and ask yourself the following question: how high do you want your standards to be?

Extra Cheese

We love the Wacky Mac orange cheese packet sauce as much as anyone else—but why not add extra real cheese anyway? Mix in some shredded mozzarella or cheddar, and your pasta will be as creamy and delicious as ever. But if you really want to make it fancy, sprinkle some hard parmesan on top when you’re done.

The Final Touch

To really transform your Wacky Mac from a delicious treat to a full-on gourmet meal, sprinkle some pepper and garlic powder on top. Well friends, there you have it. Your favorite kids’ meal has officially grown up!
