No lumps of powder, no soft noodles, no orange grease at the bottom of the bowl. The trouble is not you. It is the order of the steps on the back of the box. Here are 12 cafeteria tricks to fix it, and to turn one box into supper for four.  Where the lumps really come from, and the measuring cup that ends them. Why your box and the store brand do not tell the same time. The lighter version Kraft prints right on the package. The little can that makes the sauce creamier than milk. How to stir in real cheddar and keep it smooth. One pot with no colander, for wrists that have opinions. Peas, my mother's can of tomatoes, half a pound of beef. Leftovers that come back creamy. And why a box sold in 1937 to feed four still can. #macncheese #schoolcafeteria
