How to Make Mac and Cheese with No Milk Recipe

Now, I can’t take credit for this yummy recipe on my own…my best friend, the Tarabelle (I can’t believe we’ve been friends for over 2 decades!  Holy cow that makes me feel old now!)  Anyway, the Tarabelle is one of those friends that you don’t see for years and once you get together it’s like a day hasn’t passed!

Anyway, one day the Tarabelle decided she wanted to make mac and cheese for dinner but didn’t realize she had no milk left….oops.  So she brilliantly came up with this fantastic substitute– that I’ve started using even when I do have milk.  

When I have the time I always make my Ultimate Crock Pot Mac and Cheese because you can’t get cheesy goodness any better than that– but when I’m wanting to make a quick mac and cheese side this is the route I go every time–it’s the PERFECT last minute side dish!

How to Make Kraft Mac and Cheese without Milk

Yes, you can make Kraft Macaroni and Cheese without milk. The traditional way to prepare Kraft Macaroni and Cheese is to use milk and butter, but if you don’t have milk or prefer not to use it, you can use water instead. Here’s a simple recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese
• Water
• Butter (optional, for added flavor)

Instructions:

1. Boil Water: Fill a medium-sized pot with enough water to cover the macaroni. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
2. Cook Macaroni: Once the water is boiling, add the macaroni from the box to the pot. Cook the macaroni according to the package instructions or until it reaches your desired level of tenderness. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
3. Drain the Macaroni: Once the macaroni is cooked, drain the water using a colander.
4. Add Cheese Powder: Put the drained macaroni back into the pot. Add the cheese powder that came in the Kraft Macaroni and Cheese box. If you want to add some richness, you can also add a small amount of butter at this stage.
5. Mix Thoroughly: Stir the macaroni and cheese powder (and butter, if using) until the cheese powder is well incorporated and the macaroni is evenly coated.
6. Serve: Your Kraft Macaroni and Cheese without milk is now ready to be served.

Keep in mind that using water instead of milk may result in a slightly different taste and texture. Milk adds creaminess and richness to the cheese sauce, while water will give you a lighter and less creamy sauce. If you find the flavor lacking, you can try experimenting with other liquids like vegetable or chicken broth to enhance the taste.
