Macaroni and Cheese in 5 min

Ingredients:

1 box kraft macaroni & cheese

2 slices of kraft cheese singles

1 tbsp butter

Ok, this is not the microwaved version or the instant mac n cheese. This is the Kraft macaroni and cheese that normally takes at least 20 minutes to cook. Here is the trick, if you have Alhambra or any other bottle service with a hot water, put the macaroni in a pot with the amount of hot water from the package on it. It cuts the boiling time down to a minute and the macaroni will be ready in 4 minutes. Then you can stir in the cheese. I add a couple slices of kraft singles and 1 tbsp butter to make it extra creamier. And if you want really puffy mac n cheese or don't have Alhambra just pre-soak the noodles for 15 minutes in very hot water before you start to cook.
