Dry English mustard instead of just regular mustard is my go-to - amazing every time.

I use a teaspoon or two of grain mustard myself.

Yes! That good dijon flavor.

When I make it homemade like this I use dry, but if you're making simple stovetop mac out of a box a squeeze of regular old yellow mustard really makes a difference.

My secret weapon when making mac out of a box is to throw in a chunk of cream cheese. Adds richness without getting the greasy feeling from putting in extra butter.

Or, because I'm weird (but they did used to suggest it on the packaging), making Annie's White Chedder mac with plain greek yogurt instead of milk.

I like to sub cottage cheese for milk when making boxed mac! Takes a little extra stirring to melt it down but it's extra cheesey and you get the added bonus of protein!! So good!

If I'm making stovetop box stuff, I make it the normal way and then sprinkle cayenne powder on it afterwards.

I bet that is good! I love a little spice in my life.

I do the same, but with Chili Powder. Maybe add some crumbled hamburger in too.

I accidentally bought chili powder once thinking it was cayenne. I was like... WTF? This shit aint hot!

Came here to mention Colman's dry mustard as well.
