Two of my favorite things to make, copycat recipes and a good Mac and Cheese. And this Mac and Cheese recipe from Boston Market is not only simple, but it's also delicious!
No need for any fancy cheeses in this Mac and Cheese recipe. Just some good ole processed Velveeta Cheese. So what's so different about this Mac & Cheese recipe you ask? Turmeric. Yep a little Turmeric for taste and color.
Just like some of my other Mac and Cheese Recipes I've previously posted, this simple Mac & Cheese recipe also has a little Ground Dry Mustard in it. I love using Mustard Powder in my Macaroni and Cheese recipes. It gives it just a little more flavor.
You can use whatever kind of pasta you have on hand but I used spiral pasta for a couple of reasons. One that's the kind of pasta Boston Market uses and since this is a copycat recipe I wanted to stay as true as possible to the original recipe. Secondly, I find that spiral pasta holds more cheese than other types of pasta.
⭐ Copycat Rating
Since the goal of a Copycat Recipe is for it to taste exactly like the original, it's only natural to rate this recipe against the original. This Copycat recipe rates a solid 7 out of 10 in my opinion.
