the mac n cheese myth
 

are the spirals actually cheesier than the regular mac n cheese?

i say yes!

YES!!!

They're nummier, too.

The grooves in the spirals should hold more cheese (more surafce area to cling to) than the smooth surface of the regular macaroni

right?

mac and cheese is canadas way of keeping americans fat.

STOP EATING KRAFT FOODS!!!

.. but the regular macaroni.. you can get cheese on the INSIDE! :1orglaugh

Nooo! Regular ol' Kraft Mac N Cheese is the only way to go :)

YESSSsss!!! :thumbsup :D

Let me guess, you think carbo's make people fat.

I love M&C. I eat it more times in one month than most people have in a year. Guess what? I'm not fat.

i really don't care what kind of macaroni is used.. they all taste the same.. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!

hell yeah and break me off a block of that kraft extra sharp cheddar as a snack after.

had nothing to do with what i was referring to.

havent you ever seen South Park?

i havent eaten mac and cheese in awhile.

im a velveeta shells kind of guy when i do though.

My son grew up on Kraft Mac N Cheese (and every other fast food you can think of) and at 5'10" weighed 150 pounds.

The best kind of mac-n-cheese is the home-made baked kind..nothing beats that shit. Potluck dinners are famous for having at least one dish of baked mac-n-cheese..mmmmmm.

The boxed sutff is good when you are in a hurry..I prefer the white cheese kind

Now we're talkin... you want cheesy?? Velveeta shells'n cheese are the ONLY way to go. :thumbsup

Fuck yes. YUMMY.

But if you must...spirals. Or Shells n Cheese. That's it.

i say YES! and i enjoy it most that the regular macaroni (i mean the real macaroni that we eat) :1orglaugh

i even love Kraft :thumbsup

oh man i hate that baked shit, it's like the stuff they served in the school cafeteria. i'm all about the kraft spirals!!

So what you are saying is that you can't cook, LOL.

When I make macaroni and cheese, I use Tillamook extra sharp cheese, kielbassa susage and onions - thin slice then pan cook the sausage, saute the onions, grate the cheese, then prepare the macaroni. Put them all together in a casserole dish, then sprinkle with parmesan cheese on top. Bake. ENJOY!!!

My friends who taste it said they never thought that macaroni and cheese could taste so good.

Bon appetit,

mac and cheese: maccheroni, mozzarella, capers, cherry tomatoes, onion, garlic, fresh basil, oregano, some balsamico.

Bingo! But you can - wanna move in with me? :thumbsup

I wish I could cook :1orglaugh

I prefer the extra creamy M&C myself - sprinkle a bit of grated cheese on top and you're good to go!

I actually mix a little of the leanest hamburger in it for a white trash fiesta meal.

I love all of the above, but KD is a constant staple food in my pantry.

gotta be KD!

much more yummy

add.: goes well with a cheap south african cabernet sauvignon and tiramisu.

Yummy guess what I am having for lunch now!!!! :thumbsup

Yup.

I add in lean ground beef, some of those mixed veggies, the frozen kind, some chopped onions, extra cheese, a pinch of garlic and other seasonings, a few good shplooples of tabasco,

I call it..... gluk. :D

Yeah, I'm a real domestic god (male equiv of a domestic goddess)...

Can I bring my wife?

ADG Webmaster

I only have room for you (small cabin) so ditch the wife. Sorry - all's fair in love and food!

So true.... :D

Hell, yeah. I always make macaroni casserole for any family event. They riot if I don't.

This is how I make it and it kicks ass:

12 oz dry macaroni
16 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
1 stick margarine
1 onion, chopped
1 cup mayonnaise
2 cans creme of mushroom soup
1 small jar pimiento

Boil macaroni and onion together for 8-10 minutes, drain and mix in all remaining ingredients, saving just enough cheese to sprinkle on top. Pour into 9x13 pan, sprinkle remaining cheese on top and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.

that mac n cheese baked like that gives me nightmares. so many people probably like it, but i would rather eat cardboard.

Okay, take out the pimento and I'm all about it. :thumbsup

You just ain't ate mine. You'd be in heaven. :warning

how sad is it that I now find it a delicacy because I can very rarely buy it here. The supermarket I did used to find it at changed owner ship and now nothing :(

see now that sounds good and all but boxed mac and cheese and the baked stuff are different animals totally

In all honesty, I HATE fucken pimento, but after it cooks in the oven, it's fine. It cooks most of the taste out and the whole thing is cheesy. I've made it with and without and you can't really tell the difference. I think it just looks nicer with the specks of red color in it, lol.

True. I do make the box stuff sometimes and even regular homemade mac and cheese, but it's never as good (to me). The Velveeta shells and cheese stuff is about as close as it comes.

Mac and Cheese rules. So does Hamburger Helper.
