To prepare, you will typically boil the included macaroni pasta until it is tender. After draining the pasta, you will then prepare the cheese sauce. This usually involves combining the cheese powder with milk and butter in the same pot. Stirring until the sauce is smooth and melted is key. Finally, you add the cooked pasta back to the pot and stir to coat it evenly with the rich cheese sauce. It is best served warm.

This deluxe version features a sharp cheddar cheese flavor, which is more pronounced and tangy than milder cheddar varieties. The 'deluxe' designation often implies a richer, creamier sauce compared to basic boxed mac and cheese. The pasta shape may also be designed to hold the sauce better.
