Very good! It's addictive. I was so intrigued by this that I went out to buy Kraft mac n' cheese just to try it. I followed the recipe exactly but put the peas in the boiling water with the noodles just before draining them. I used 1/2 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper. I agree the white onions kinda overpower it but I like onions.The only thing it needs is a little zip. I may try adding some vinegar, sugar and mustard to the leftovers. Made for Zaar Stars tag game.

This was really good. I made it for a picnic for 10 people Memorial day weekend and they all loved it. First they said ewww Kraft Dinner....but then they tried it and said Yummm. I made this the night before so it could really blend flavors. I did everything as written. I still have lots left over for my lunches only cause I had so many dishes. But this dish was enjoyed by all. Thanks for posting this recipe BakinBaby

I halved the recipe but used two hard-boiled eggs. I opted for butter rather than margarine as I prefer it in cooking, used low-fat milk and added some thinly sliced mushrooms. I sampled a small serve: delicious. I shall be enjoying this for take-to-work lunches over the next few days. Thank you for sharing this easy to put together and tasty recipe, BakinBaby. Made for Zaar Stars Tag.
