"Sounds weird but it tastes really good! When I was a kid my aunt used to make this for me, apparently it was popular with her and her dorm friends. I still eat this today and thought I should post it on Zaar so everyone can try it!"

This is so yummy. I always cook the macaroni in the microwave and I added the ramen noodles during the last 3 minutes. It was perfect. I never add butter. For the noodles, I had the chicken flavor. I used maybe half the seasoning cause it's too salty. Thanks Babzy :) Made for Help a Naked recipe event

For something quick it's pretty good .

We also discovered this in college when faced with a nearly empty pantry and three to feed. We added about a 1/2 C of frozen peas and a small can of tuna fish. The recipe as stated above is how I make it for my carb-freak son. He calls it macaramie and cheese. lol

I ate this and didn't mind it at all, but I didn't think it was an improvement over either ramen or mac and cheese. It was bland- I want to add something spicy if I do this again.

I think next time less flavor packet (used 1/2). I liked it that way, the 4yo gobbled hers (!!!!) DH was a bit unsure of the flavor part.
