Good news is, you'll have enough butter and milk to make more of these for way less than 10 bucks.Įnough money talk, let's get to the fun stuff. Extra chicken, prawns or salmon +6.00 Extra ingredients +2.00 Please. When macaroni are done, and they absorb most of the milk, add butter, parmesan cheese, pepper and nutmeg to the pot. Be careful since the milk could boil over. Combine pasta, cheese, almond milk, cream, egg, mustard, and garlic powder in medium bowl. Because alas, we can't buy only four tablespoons of butter or an ounce of milk at the supermarket. Boil macaroni noodles for about 15 minutes in milk with a pinch of salt. so I guess Canadians get it, too.Ī little note on how we did this: We calculated the cost of each recipe by how much it’d be to purchase the minimum number of individual ingredients (not cost per serving). Yes, that was a reference to the Barenaked Ladies. Even though I'm rich now (compared to 7-year-old Perry) and don't have to eat Kraft dinner, I still do, I just eat more. Sure, there was a #failplate or two (Spam + Twix comes to mind), but things came out pretty good for the most part. Melt the remaining butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the breadcrumbs, and continue to stir until the break crumbs have reached a golden brown color. Growing up in a sparsely stocked kitchen (yeah, we were poor) meant making do with what we had. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a small skillet over medium heat. And even then, I messed around with the ingredients. I'm pretty sure it was the first thing I ever cooked on my own, with my tiny apron, and my tiny step stool, and my tiny fire extinguisher.

If you didn't eat it as a young 'un, you're probably not American. Boxed macaroni and cheese is a rite of passage.
