As kitch said, the only point in buying a box of mac & cheese is the cheese!. It's much cheaper to buy the macaroni by itself if that's all you want!. As to toppings, just buy a jar of tomato sauce, or grate some real cheese onto the warm pasta!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
To keep it simple, I like using garlic powder, parmesan, shredded cheese, and butter!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
