Home-baked Mac and Cheese

1 pkg. (14 oz.) Macaroni & Cheese Dinner
1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese, divided
1/2 cup Sour Cream
1/4 tsp. ground red pepper or black pepper
6 Crackers, crushed (about 1/4 cup)
1 Tbsp. butter or margarine, melted

Preheat oven to 375°F. Prepare dinner as directed on package. Stir in 1/2 cup of the Cheddar cheese, the sour cream and pepper. Spoon into greased 1-1/2 qt. baking dish; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese and the combined cracker crumbs and butter. Bake 20 min. Let stand 5 min. before serving.

Notes:
I made this the night before and baked it at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes. The ground red pepper was an awesome addition.
