Magic Mix Recipe, Cheeseburger Mac ‘n Cheese, and Magic Mix Pudding- Magic Mix Food Storage Recipes
I’ve heard about this “Magic Mix” from the USU Extension Service which is made from powdered milk and knew I had to give it a try when it claimed to make very easy white sauces. All I have to say is that I have a new MUST HAVE in my fridge! White sauces can be hard to make. If you don’t do it just right then you have this thick clumpy mess, we all know what I’m talking about right? Well say “goodbye” to that and say “hello” to Magic Mix and perfect white sauces. It is AWESOME!!! Not only does it use powdered milk it saves TONS of time & money and is super EASY to use!! Try these recipes out for try, your family won’t be able to resist!

McDonald’s Cheeseburger Macaroni and Cheese
(no joke! It tastes just like a McDonald’s cheeseburger, what kid can resist? Not to mention it’s a complete meal in one and is just as easy and fast as the stuff in the blue box plus it sneaks in vegetables. Try it! Your family will eat powdered milk!
Ingredients:
2 C. White Sauce from Magic Mix (See Below)
2 C. Uncooked Macaroni (from food storage ![]()
2 C. Cheese
1-2 tsp. salt or garlic salt (optional)
1/2 C. Ketchup
1 T. Yellow Mustard
1 lb. Cooked Ground Beef (I cook all my ground beef when I buy it and separate it into 1 lb. bags which makes a meal like this SOO easy!)
1/4 C. Dehydrated Onion hydrated in 1/2 C. Warm Water, drained (optional)
1 Bag Frozen Mixed Vegetables (if you want an easy way to cook frozen vegetables, simply poke the bag with a fork and cook in your microwave for 5-6 minutes. Those new Steamer veggie bags do the same thing but are tons more money!)
Directions:
Cook Macaroni in boiling water until tender. Cook hamburger while macaroni cooks. Drain macaroni and make white sauce in empty pot. Combine all ingredients and heat through. (I garnished mine with fresh tomatoes.)
Magic Mix White Sauce-makes 1 C.
2/3 C. Magic Mix
1 C. Water
In saucepan combine Magic Mix and water. Stir rapidly (I use a wire wisk) over medium heat until it starts to bubble. (Use Magic Mix White Sauce for all recipes calling for a white or cream sauce.)
The secret behind making MAGIC MIX: (Makes 5 Cups of Magic Mix)

Step 1: You will need some sort of good mixer. Make sure you use beaters when making the mix as shown above. If you don’t have a good mixer, start calling around…get together with a friend and make some…it is SOOOO worth it!
Ingredients:
2 1/3 C. Powdered Milk
1 C. All Purpose Flour (Yes, use All Purpose)
1 C. (2 sticks) Margarine (***HAS TO BE REAL MARGARINE, NOT SPREAD***) or Butter, at room temperature
Combine dry milk, flour and margarine/butter into a large bowl.
Step 3: Mix until it looks like corn meal. (You may want to start off slow and work up to the fastest setting so that it doesn’t blow powder all over)

Step 4: Keep mix tightly covered in the refrigerator. (note: keep your #10 cans for just such a purpose! They are 50 cents and work great for storing home made mixes)
Stay tuned..my husband’s favorite cookie bar is coming next as we explore making Sweetened Condensed milk out of powdered milk. DELICIOUS!!
