Nutrisystem’s White Cheddar Mac and Cheese is designed for easy preparation, so here’s how to enjoy it in a few steps:
Preparation:
- Microwaving: This is the quickest method. Nutrisystem recommends using a microwave with 1100 watts of power.
- Remove the lid and cheese sauce packet from the cup.
- Do not add water yet.
- Microwave the cup with macaroni for 60 seconds on high.
- Adding Water:
- Carefully take out the hot cup from the microwave.
- Add 5 oz of room temperature water to the cup, reaching the fill line (approximately 1 3/8 inches from the rim).
- Finishing Up:
- Stir in the cheese sauce packet until well combined.
- Microwave again for another 30-60 seconds on high, or until the cheese sauce is melted and the macaroni is heated through.
Optional “Elevations” (for extra flavor or texture):
- Chopped vegetables: Add a handful of chopped broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers during the first microwaving step for a veggie boost.
- Protein boost: After heating, stir in some cooked, shredded chicken or crumbled tofu for extra protein.
- Spicy kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
- Fresh herbs: Sprinkle with chopped fresh chives or parsley for extra flavor after heating.
Safety Tip: Be careful when handling the hot cup after microwaving.
