Recipe Instructions
-
Prepare the Macaroni and Cheese: Begin by preparing the mac ‘n cheese according to the package instructions. If using the 7.25 oz. box of Kraft’s Thick & Creamy Macaroni & Cheese, follow the instructions on the box. You can also use other brands of boxed mac ‘n cheese. Optionally, add 1/2 cup of milk if using the Thick & Creamy variety.
-
Add Salsa: Just before serving, while the macaroni and cheese is still hot, stir in the salsa. The heat from the mac ‘n cheese will help incorporate the salsa flavors beautifully.
-
Adjust Salsa Quantity: Depending on your preference for spiciness, adjust the amount of salsa added. For hotter salsas, like homemade ‘hot’ salsa, use 4 tablespoons. For medium-heat store-bought salsa, you may want to add 5 tablespoons. Feel free to customize according to your taste buds!
Enjoy this irresistible fusion of creamy mac ‘n cheese with the zesty kick of salsa. It’s a quick and easy dish that’s perfect for satisfying those comfort food cravings in no time!
