Cheesier-than-Kraft Mac N Cheese

 The secret ingredient that makes it taste so cheesy is evaporated milk


1 box 7.25oz  generic brand Mac n Cheese (Walmart brand, Smith's brand, etc)
1 t. salt
¼ c. (or less) butter or margarine
2 Tbsp 2% milk 
6 Tbsp (¼ c. + 2Tbsp) evaporated milk



In a small pot, bring water to a rolling boil.  Add salt.  Stir in macaroni.  Boil on Med High for no more than  3.5 - 4.5 min, stirring occasionally.  Remove from heat.  Drain in noodle strainer.

Add butter/margarine to empty pot.  Return macaroni to pot.  Stir until butter melts.  Add 2% milk and evaporated milk.  Stir.  Add packet of powdered cheese. Stir until uniform color.  Taste test. If too thick, add 2% milk until desired consistency. 

Serve immediately.
