Sounds like you turn it into a complete meal. The kids and I used to do something similar with Ramen on the road in the Westfalia.

That's great!  

 

I've been doing my own customization with boxed mac & cheese.  While the water is being heated to cook the pasta I saute diced garlic, onions, and tomatoes in another pot in the butter for the cheese sauce.  I also add tuna and chili sauce and sometimes some sour cream.
