I didn't have salsa so I used sweet basil tomato sauce. Turned our pretty good. Next time I'm going to try it with the salsa.

This is a really great idea. I didn't even put any extra cheese on top and it was delicious.

My sister and I made this together and decided to add some extra nutrients to it by frying up some chopped up peppers and onions and including that in the mix. Very delicious!

Super easy and tasty! I put a little more salsa, and use TexMex cheese on top instead of cheddar. It's a hit!

4-stars for being easy and convenient! I too will never cook Mac & Cheese the same way again, when only 15 more minutes produces way better results. I also made with one box of white chedder and one regular. Kraft: I have heard of Ketchup flavoured Mac & Cheese from the box. What about salsa flavoured?

I'll probably never eat mac & cheese the other way again. This is so easy and tasty!
