Copycat Boxed Macaroni And Cheese Recipes
COPYCAT BOXED MACARONI AND CHEESE
This recipe originally comes from King Arthur Flour, which is where I buy my cheddar cheese powder. You can buy cheese powder from many sites on the web, and sometimes you can find it at baking supply stores; many people use it to make cheese bread or crackers. Obviously, your end product will depend on the kind of cheese powder you buy - the one I use is real cheddar which has been dried and ground to a powder, so the sauce turns out white, not day-glo orange ;) But if you want the orange stuff there are several places on the web to buy it. Depending on what sort of cheese powder you get, this may or may not taste close to Kraft macaroni and cheese. I don't know what sort of cheese powder you'll be able to get, so I can't guarantee that. If you are trying to replicate Kraft exactly, you may have to try to find their powdered cheese; sometimes I have seen it for sale in canisters on its own (i.e. not as part of the boxed mac and cheese). The 6 ounces of macaroni listed below measures out to 1 and 1/2 cups, dry.

- To prepare the cheese sauce, place all ingredients into a medium sauce pan and heat until the cheese is melted and the mixture blended. Remove from heat and store in refrigerator for later use or mix one cup of heated cheese sauce to three cups of cooked pasta and serve immediately.
- Note: If you want this to look and taste just like the boxed mix, use all of the salt, butter and use orange food coloring. Otherwise, you can cut back on the salt and butter and omit the food coloring for a healthier version. This will all depend on how finicky your child is.
- Another tip to make this extra healthy is to add cooked pureed sweet potatoes and/or cooked pureed cauliflower with a little milk to thin them down. The taste only changes a bit and you are getting a healthier version of the copycat recipe into your child. We slowly added these vegetables over time to get our daughter used to the taste and now her cheese sauce is 1/3 cheese sauce, 1/3 pureed sweet potato and 1/3 pureed cauliflower. (She knows we add in the vegetables and is fine with it!)

- Cook macaroni according to package directions (al dente) in salted water. When macaroni is cooked, drain and return to pot on low heat. Immediately add butter. When butter is melted, add cheeses and milk. Keep stirring until cheese is melted. If it is too thick, add more milk.. if it's too thin, add more cheese. You want it to be the consistency of the Blue Box stuff. Add salt, pepper, and paprika (optional). Stir well and serve immediately.
- **If you save the leftovers, just refrigerate and when ready to eat--pop it in the microwave with a little milk, stirring every minute so it doesn't dry out.

- Heat water in a large pot on high until it reaches boiling point. Generously add salt to the water. Once it begins to boil, add pasta and cook according to package instructions.
- As the water is warming up, make the sauce. Heat a pot over medium heat and add butter. Once the butter is melted, whisk in the flour until a paste forms. Make sure to have the milk nearby because you will want to have it ready. Whisk in milk and heavy cream. Let it simmer for 8-10 minutes.
- Slowly add in the chunks of cheese in small increments, whisking after each addition. You don't want to add it in all at once or the mixture may clump. Add in salt, pepper, and dried mustard. Let the cheese melt and once the sauce has thickened, add the drained pasta. Taste for seasonings.
