we always called it Macaroni and cheese, but at lunch the other day , I found out that some people like "Shells" and cheese, instead. One guy has to have shells & cheese , but he only puts it on one side of the shallow bowl, he puts chili ( 50/50 ) on the other side of the bowl . a lady puts steamed broccoli and cauliflower florets in her M&C then another fella chops up hot dogs and adds it to his M&C.

I don't eat much in the way of mac and cheese anymore, but my ex-wife would embellish. I for one like to add bacon. | |||

I grew up with a Mom who made mac & cheese (usually Kraft) according to the box's label then embellished at the end with tuna. Poor man's tuna noodle casserole. If I make box mac & cheese (usually Annie's) according to the box's label then embellish with tuna and frozen peas, bake in the oven, and the last 5 min in the oven add a blended cheese to the top.

wife is GF, so we use Annies, or Aldis, mac, shells, whatever pasta the cheese sauce, add a slice of american or 2 is tasty, or if fancy add some shredded gouda etc, options are endless, we don't add meats, but my brother loves a version at a local place that adds crabmeat https://chandlersfirearms.com/chesterfield-armament/ | |||

I embellish mine with extra cheese.  Sometimes I'll make Rachel Ray's Italian Mac and Cheese, which has sausage, tomatoes, and mushrooms in it. (But that's more akin to something like a pizza casserole than true "mac and cheese".) https://www.rachaelray.com/rec...talian-mac-n-cheese/ | |||

Yep, ate a lot of that through college. It was the step up from ramen. -- I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. JALLEN 10/18/18 https://sigforum.com/eve/forum...610094844#7610094844 | |||

I like mine with lobster meat and a few shavings of truffle. | |||

I make a basic (Béchamel) white sauce on the thin side and then stir in some grated extra sharp cheddar after the heat is turned off. I sprinkle a mixture of Panko bread crumbs, some butter, and some grated Parmigiano-Reggiano on top and brown it quickly in a very hot oven. If you use an aged cheddar then the mixture will separate if you boil it after the cheese is added. Here's Chef John's take on this: You can add an infinite variety to stuff to this, but that's like putting a bra on the Venus of Milo. JMHO, YMMV, etc. Edited to add: Yeah, I'd go for lobster and/or truffles as additives. When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth. - George Bernard Shaw | |||

Link to original video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wxIfa4Qc2Rw Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

my Mother and Grandmothers (and a slew of relatives) make something similar for family functions, too much work  for every day meals, (when the stove top box will work) but damn tasty,https://chandlersfirearms.com/chesterfield-armament/ | |||

I actually like the Kraft mac and cheese, but I throw away 1/3-1/2 the pasta so that it's twice as cheesy and use more butter and just a splash of milk. Lobster or crab mac and cheese is very good, but as a side dish, not an entire entrée. | |||

This. How was spam not mentioned in the first few posts? Use flat egg noodles with sour cream, then you can call it Noodles Romanoff and eat like a toff and not a pleb.

I like to add grilled brats of various types or keilbasa to my kraft boxed mac&cheese when I have some leftover. But at some point it's just better to start all over and do homemade w/ a pasta, a blend of cheeses (I like a touch of blue cheese), sausage, spice, crumbs, and go from there. Any vegetables, I prefer to have on the side. | |||

Break up some seasoned pork rinds and sprinkle on top for an easy add. ________________________ "Red hair and black leather, my favorite color scheme" | |||

I'll sometimes split 2 Hebrew National dogs in half length-wise and then dice. Put in to cook with the macaroni/shells & mix with cheese per directions. ============================== On the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds that on other days and other fields will bear the fruits of victory.

| Oh stewardess, I speak jive.  |
Fancy variations of Mac & Cheese have been all the rage for a while now. There's a specialty restaurant with a bunch of them in one of the other mountain towns in CO. | |||

My mom always made it with velveeta and added a can of Tuna. Sounds strange but we love it. There are 3 kinds of people, those that understand numbers and those that don't. | |||
