This might sound gross, but my boyfriend turned me on to mac and cheese with tuna in it! It’s so good.. I guess you could call it white trash gourmet, put a little parmesan cheese and salt in and you’re good to go! Delish! :-)

I love mac and cheese. My mother used to cook it for the family breakfast. I’m thinking to cook it my own tonight…Maybe I will put cornet too. Delicious!

The best mac & cheese is:
1 box of mac noodles cook noodles until almost all the water is gone and then stir in:
1 jar of cheez whiz
a good scoop of butter
and a little milk.
mix together and enjoy!

Hey guys.. Food Network’s #1 recipe this afternoon is ‘Grown Up Max and Cheese’.

1 Can Chili (Stagg is the best)

Cook, mix and serve.

S’Mac is right around the block from me. Good stuff. Tried to go this past week-end but the line was out the door. Never seen it that busy before.

Both the blue box and home made verison are made and eaten but more often than not its made out of the box as it makes a much quicker meal after work.

And to give the box a more grown up taste add equal parts of onion and garlic powered and grated parmigan and asiago cheese – really gives it a kick and its alot less runny / sticky that way.

To make it a truly comfort food from childhood it must be served with peas and hot dogs. sometimes mixed together and sometimes separate.

For the record, Jefferson didn’t invent macaroni and cheese. He was just a big fan of “macaroni”, by which he really just meant pasta. No one’s really sure if he ate it with cheese the way we do today. But he enjoyed pasta so much during his stay in Europe (as minister to France) that he tried to find out what kind of grain made the best pasta and, in typial Jefferson fashion, wrote some notes on how to construct a pasta press.

I do a combo of blue box and homemade.
Cook mac as normal.
In another pan, prepare the cheese mix, adding in 2 or 3 slices of american cheese. Add a bit of flour if it looks too runny.
Pour the sauce over the drained pasta, and melt in 1 or 2 more slices of cheese.
Crumble up a half sleeve of Ritz crackers (absolutely vital), and mix them in.

Deeelightful, and completely horrible for you. My hubby and brother can go through 2 pounds of this stuff in 10 minutes.

I also find that shreck holds the cheese really well, and is more firm than the regular noodles. It’s because he’s tough and oger-y, I’m sure.

My college roommate used to make M&C every night with peas and tuna.

It made the apartment smell like a sick dog, but I guess he thought it tasted good.

did anyone else see the food network “Throwdown with Bobby Flay”? Where he did the mac ‘n cheese throwdown? The other woman’s mac had a whopping TWO THOUSAND CALORIES

and I’m sure it was worth EVERY calorie.

My favorite boxed is the Velveeta shells and cheese, but homemade will always be my favorite.
