I could sit here for many minutes listing off to you the reasons Paris Hilton is canon. The woman who kick-started reality television, the human who invented the selfie, the reason you look back at Juicy Couture with fondness? Yeah, sure, that was all game-changing, but the thing that will forever cement her status as an icon is the thing you will learn here today: The woman adds pounds of extra cheese to her boxes of Kraft mac, and the end result is...sublime.

Cooking With Paris, which drops August 4 on Netflix, sees Paris working her way through a variety of fun and accessible recipes (get her "Vegan Un-Cheeseburgers and Vegan McDonald’s Fries" recipe here), but of all the recipes in all of the episodes Delish got to preview, I am gonna go ahead and confirm this one is the best. My pictures of the stuff didn't turn out nearly well as Netflix's, but know that yours will be equally gooey, salty, and satisfying as what you see up top.

TL;DR: I saw Paris Hilton dump cheddar, mozz, and Parm onto her pasta, so I dumped cheddar, mozz, and Parm onto my pasta. And I—listen. You'll never be good with just the untouched original version again.

Without further ado, here is Ms. Hilton's Easy Cheesy Mac & Cheese recipe.


INGREDIENTS:

  • 3 boxes Kraft mac & cheese
  • 1 lb cheddar
  • 1 lb shredded mozzarella
  • 1⁄2 lb grated Parmesan
  • Butter
  • Milk

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Prepare pasta according to box directions.
  2. In a bowl, add milk & butter according to box directions, then add 3 packets of cheese

  5. Add cheese mixture & stir until melted.
