Are people who dont' like mac and cheese communists or just plain evil?
Can you add anything to it to make it better?

I love home made Mac'n'Cheese, but despise the out of the box.
I can't stand mac and cheese, homemade, storebought, or with additives.
I love any and all mac n cheese. I'll even eat the generic box versions and love em. The microwave TV dinner mac n cheese is definitely the worst, but I'll even eat that and be satisfied.
Bacon, Sausage, Hot Dogs works good with mac and cheese.
chili-mac
This recipe is great.
Mac & Cheese is glorious. My mom made the best stuff ever, triple layered w/ cheese. You could feel your arteries clogging while you ate it. Awesome
That Kraft Deluxe stuff was the only M&C I ever ate on its own. That powder bull is for people who are poorer than I am.
It's all really salty to me now though. Have to wake up in the middle of the night to rehydrate if I eat it like I used to (the whole box).
If you MUST eat the box stuff, the best way to prepare it is to do the sauce separately in a large glass measuring cup. Put the liquid ingredients into measuring cup and put it in the microwave, heat it for like 1 minute, then add the powdered cheese stuff. Stir well, and heat up a bit more if needed to thicken the sauce just a bit. Pour over the cooked macaroni and stir, then serve.
If you prepare it per the instructions on the box, doing everything in the sauce pan, you wind up with a bunch of yellow/orange macaroni and NO ING SAUCE. The cooked macaroni absorbs the milk almost immediately, and the powdered cheese is just like powder coating color at that point.
The best way to make the box stuff is actually to halve the butter, but use fat free half & half in place of the milk.
Try the Mac and Cheese at the Yardhouse. That is amazing.
chicken breast, applewood smoked bacon, wild mushrooms, cheddar and parmesan with campanelle pasta and white truffle oil
i second this!
this. I wouldn't eat Kraft macaroni unless I was literally starving. No matter how it was prepared.
Love the stuff otherwise.
Mac and Cheese + Beanie Weenies is the shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.
I skip the panko and just spread grated cheddar on top. Also had some success adding a tsp or more of cayenne, 2-3 tbs dehydrated onion flakes in addition to the fresh onion (the flakes recons ute slowly enough that you get some crisp onion in every bite), and 1-2 cups frozen veggies of your liking (I dig the calabazita mix you can find at HEB).THANKS!
If you're feeling ambitious, you can also get a honey-baked ham and, cutting from the end that isn't spiral-sliced, carve out about 1-2 cups worth of ham cubes. Toss them in about 1 tbs your favorite chili powder (I've really come to enjoy the mix made by The e Hunter brand -- lots of cocoa and smoked pepper flavor) and 1 tsp of cayenne. Throw the mix into an oven-safe dish and broil for 5 minutes to render out the fat, then remove the dish, add about 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and stir it all together. Broil that for another 3-5 minutes, then set aside to cool for a bit. With a slotted spoon, pull out the candied ham and add it to the mornaise sauce in the recipe, stir it up, and add to the mac before it goes back in the oven. Made that with the Easter leftovers and it was gone entirely too soon.
upgrade!
adding goat cheese or Gruyere also works quite well.
This is just about the best box mac and cheese out there.upgrade!
I will cancel most of the plans I have to drive to my parents(30 min away) if my mom says she is making homemade mac and cheese.
upgrade!
That's good stuff.
I loved mac and cheese when i was little, but i can't remember the last time i've had it.
Velveeta is horrible. Both their mac & cheese and in general.
Horrible.
