Anyone here love KFC mac n cheese?
I’m not the biggest fan but the kids love it so I decided to try and recreate it.
Didn’t use a recipe just threw it together.
I used 1/2 of a 1lb box of noodles
1 bag of this cheese
A good handful of shredded cheddar
And some heavy cream
(I didn’t measure anything sorry just played it by ear)
Boiled the noodles then drained and added the cheese and heavy cream!
Tastes almost just like kfc! And was cheap to make!
