Do you measure your mac & cheese?

[Anon]

So.... when you make mac n cheese out of a box...do you measure your ingredients or have you made it so long you just throw everything in there?

(I throw things in)

Sometimes I cut up a hotdog or two in it, or add a fistful of ground meat to make it a bit more nourishing. At only 30 cents a box it can't be beat!

I agree with you...Kraft Mac & Cheese is the best. :lol

Only RICH people get to eat Kraft in the blue box! I bet y'all eat it as the side dish too and not for the main meal! :duh

Oh, we eat it as a main meal. My dad hates Mac & Cheese so it's something my mom makes us sometimes for lunch when he's at work, or when he is working too late to come home for dinner. :lol

It tastes good with bologna slices diced up in it too!

My mom has never added anything to it, lol. The only thing she's added stuff like that to is ramen noodles. :smile

My wife makes the most incredibly delish mac 'n' cheese from scratch. She throws that together so quickly, I don't see how a boxed mix can beat her. It is rich with extra sharp cheddar and is to die for. :drool :drool :drool

I do not eat it plain, though. Instead I add spaghetti sauce to it and have poor man's lasagna. :lol Also, Bush's baked beans on top of it right out of the oven is also very good. :drool

No we don't eat it as a side dish either. :lol I make it for lunch for the kids and me because dh doesn't like the boxed kind, only the real kind.

Nobody's tried chili-mac??? yum, yum.

Every now and again I toss salsa on my mac and cheese. Yummy!

Yeah that's good! I have mixed Campbells chunky chili in with mac n cheese...

I make baked mac 'n cheese as an occasional side dish. I make the box mix and then put it in a baking pan and put shredded cheddar or colby over it. I think it tastes better that way. Most of the time though, I make macaroni and cheese using velveeta. :hungry:

we can't eat that cheap stuff either, kraft or better yet Annies for us. I love the real stuff, but the family dosen't so they win! :loco We mostly have it for lunch. I've added tuna or chunk chicken and peas with a little mayo instead of the milk before and it is a hit at our house.
