I like to cook up a box of Mac n cheese and when the noodles are almost done I add 1 crushed up pack of Ramen noodles. I then add the butter, milk cheese packet AND the Chicken seasoning packet. It turns out to taste like Cheesy Chicken Pasta. Very good! I also make some cheap garlic bread (microwave soggy version) with McCormick's Garlic and seasonings (no salt version) and butter with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top to go along with it. I get about 4 meals out of this easy.
We like to add some peas to boxed Mac n Cheese. I toss them from the freezer into the water with the pasta when it is almost done. Broccoli is good too. I also like to top my Mac n Cheese with some stewed tomatoes, yum!
