Someone posted this recipe on Facebook and the key ingredient, the powdered cheese packet from those inexpensive boxes of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, seemed kind of…bizarre. But the tasty goodness of this bread was equal to what I had enjoyed countless times at the old Smokehouse restaurant in Burbank. My few changes are in italics below.
