Fun fact : 2:36 I think she forgot but she has tried kraft mac nd cheese u can see her trying it in 'home made vs storebrought mac nd cheese' vid or maybe this vid was filmed earlier than that but the uploaded date matches up (a year and 9 months gap)😮
gotta love the part where I got the ingredients list
guys why do people use so much cheese in there sauyxe my mum only using lke one linch or none
She is not a good cook tbh
We have to admit it, that we’re only here to make the macaroni and cheese for three minutes
3-Minute Version is so good
3 minute: "okay I've gotten quite hungry so I'll make myself a snack"
30 minute: "I've gotten tired of this vegan bacon"
3 hour: "*Jesse, we need to cook.*"
I don’t trust her because she doesn’t like Kraft Mac n cheese
Who tf hasn’t had Kraft max and cheese
Three hour mac & cheese, looks like rice crispies
3 minutes: I wanna grab a bite before work
30 Minutes: I’m hungry and want to finish my Netflix series
3 hours: I have a potluck at work
3 days: I’m meeting Gordon Ramsay
3 years: E l o n M u s k i s c o m i n g
Why did the 3 minute Mac n cheese look better than the 30 minute?
to this day I wish Americans would pronounce the brand of Gouda correctly
50 minutes of baking is way too long lol
The only Kraft mad n cheese I have had is the Kraft velveta shells and cheese
Never ate kraft? She's lucky. After turning like 17/18 I tried making kraft again and I damn near spit it out. Never again.
How do you keep the pasta from boiling over in the microwave? I’ve tried several times and can’t figure out how to stop it.
I haven’t had Kraft Mac n cheese either. COS AM BRITISH
What if i have 0 mins😂
3-min Mac and cheese: she cooks the pasta for 2 mins and takes 1 min to melt the cheese and also take extra time to mix the spices with the cheese….so it actually like a 5-minute Mac and cheese
