directions

  • Whisk water, cheese sauce from pouch and pepper in 1 1/2-quart casserole.
  • Stir in dry pasta and 1 cup of the cheddar cheese; cover with lid.
  • Bake at 375* for 30 minutes. Uncover; stir in sour cream.
  • In a small bowl, mix remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, crackers, and melted butter.
  • Sprinkle evenly over casserole. Bake an additional 10 minutes, uncovered.
