Kraft mac and cheese with broccoli
One box makes two bowls of proper comfort food when you add the creamy broccoli straight from the shelf and a knob of butter to loosen the cheese sauce. This dinner is ready in the time it takes pasta to cook, no shopping needed.

From your shelf
- 1 box homestyle macaroni and cheese, creamy broccoli (Kraft)
Staples
- 1 tablespoon butter
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the macaroni from the box. Cook until tender, about 7 to 8 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
- Drain the pasta in a colander and return it to the pot off the heat. Pour in the cheese sauce packet and stir well to coat, then add the creamy broccoli and 1 tablespoon butter, breaking up any frozen clumps as you fold it in.
- Stir until everything is warm and combined, about 1 minute. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed, then divide between two bowls and serve at once.
Note Leftovers keep covered in the fridge for three days and warm gently in the microwave, thinning with a splash of milk if it seems dry. Serve alongside a fresh green salad or sliced tomatoes if you have them on hand.
