Kraftoodle combines two of the most common quick pasta dishes you probably had growing up into one Unique and Tasty Dish.
This is a very old recipe of mine from my childhood that my friends and I created and enjoy almost 30 years ago. I continuously make this dish from time to time.
It’s an extremely easy dish and takes about 10 minutes to cook. I know it sounds odd, but it is actually quite good.
Since then, I have made it here and there and for my two kids growing up who love it just as much as we did. It didn’t even have a name until writing this post. We just called it Kraft Dinner and Noodles.
Kraft Dinner
The first component is nothing more than Kraft Dinner. Cooked the same way as the instructions state. Which boil for about 9 minutes.
Mr Noodles
The second component is nothing more than a regular Mr. Noodle Pack. Noodles and Seasoning pack. Whatever flavor you prefer. These boil for 3 minutes.
Cooking Kraftoodle
The Macaroni takes about 9 minutes to boil and the Mr. Noodles takes about 3 minutes to boil. Crumble the Mr. Noodles in with the macaroni when 3 minutes of cooking time remain. So that both the Macaroni & Noodles are done at the same time.
Then strain and add both the Cheese Packet & Mr. Noodle Packet with Butter, Milk, or water until your desired level of wetness. Some like it dry and others a bit soupy. Entirely up to you.
Serve it with Ketchup on top or Hot Sauce!
Proteins
This can be buffed out and serve 4 with added proteins.
Add cooked ground beef with Beef Mr Noodles or 1 can of Tuna with Shrimp Mr Noodles, or Tofu or Paneer with Vegetable Mr Noodles, and so on. You get the idea.
