To prepare, you typically boil the included macaroni pasta until it is tender. After draining the water, you add the cheese powder and a liquid, such as milk or water, along with butter or margarine. Stir everything together until the sauce is smooth and coats the pasta. The everything bagel seasoning is usually mixed in during the sauce-making process or sprinkled on top before serving, infusing the dish with its distinct flavor profile. It's a straightforward process that results in a flavorful meal in minutes.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, this version incorporates the complex, savory notes of everything bagel seasoning. This adds a layer of garlic, onion, and seed flavor that is not present in the original cheese sauce, offering a more robust and distinct taste experience.

How to keep the rest
After preparation, any leftover macaroni and cheese should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best consumed within a few days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk or water if the sauce has thickened too much.
