To prepare, you will typically boil the included macaroni until tender, then drain it. While the pasta cooks, you prepare the cheese sauce by whisking the powdered mix with milk and butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it thickens. Once the sauce is smooth and creamy, you combine it with the drained macaroni. Stir well to ensure all the pasta is evenly coated with the rich cheddar sauce. It is ready to serve immediately.
