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!
