I use the Great Low Carb brand when I make this but it does have a few carbs and the cheese sauce has 2 grams of sugar because of the milk powder - but for a 'once in a while' comfort meal, it's worth it. Totally worth it.
You know the little cups that you remove the cheese packet, fill the container to the line with water and microwave for 3 minutes? Then you stir in the cheesy sauce, and let it set for a minute and it becomes your "Easy Mac" Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. For this version but low carb, just boil your keto macaroni, drain so you leave a little bit of water in your pan, and add some of this powdered mix. The secret is that it is 3 powders in one: Cheese, Milk and Butter. All you have to add is some salt and pepper if you desire. The amounts are kind of up to you, which you can play with a little bit to make it more cheesy or thicker, or more liquid, etc.

I bought all THREE powders as I was playing around with making "make ahead instant meals" including a low carb version of Hamburger Helper Cheeseburger style, and the 'blue box' style Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. For that version you can use either of these powders! I love the taste of these!
YES it tastes like the blue box cheese!
BLUE BOX VERSION: For the Blue Box version, this is the 'cheese packet' which you add to your macaroni, along with fresh milk and butter. If you are doing it low carb, you'll want your low carb pasta, and heavy cream instead of milk to cut down on the sugar, and then of course, your real butter.

This is the same thing, but without the orange coloring added. If you want the flavor and taste but don't need or want it to look like the Kraft version's bright orange, then use this one. Remember, this cheese powder is just cheese - you need to add your fresh milk and butter to your drained pasta.
