If you've spent a considerable amount of time on TikTok, then you've definitely come across your fair share of youngsters who won the genetic lottery and have a penchant for wearing trendy sweatsuits while pulling off hackneyed dance routines.

But there are also a ton of "food hacks" circulating the platform that folks are gravitating towards.

Most boxed macaroni and cheese packages will instruct you to first boil the pasta inside the package and then drain it. Then, you separately boil milk and toss the powdered cheese into the pan, stir it up, add it to the pasta, and then mix it all together.

Well, this TikTok hack says there's a better way to make the artificially-flavored pasta.

The hack only has one slight change to the entire pasta-making process. Instead of adding the cheese to the milk after the pasta is done cooking, the hack promises a better flavor if you boil the pasta in a mixture of water and milk and add the orange powder to the pasta as it cooks. This way, the bit of pasta actually absorbs the cheese powder.

Additionally, you never have to strain the pasta water from the pasta, either. A user who popularized the hack stated in a follow-up video that she adds 1 1/2 cups of water and 1 1/2 cups of milk to the noodles. If they need a bit more liquid to cook, she says gradually water to the mixture is fine.

When the pasta's thoroughly cooked, then you add a little bit of shredded cheese to it and voila, you've got yourself TikTok hacked mac and cheese.
