eat a bullet, son

Bread crumbs/croutons.

>>14710786
just make your own its way better also

lawrys seasoned salt, just a bit goes a long way

>>14710786
sometimes I stir in pimento cheese. Or bacon.

You can start by making actual mac and cheese and not something from a box.

>>14710786
Sauteed onions and garlic.

Also, don't use a ton of sharp cheeses. While a bit of sharp cheddar is good, i've found when making a bechamel that the best mix is like 25% sharp cheddar and the rest either a nice Emmental or Jarlsburg,

Also >>14710805
on the top then baked.

ketchup, chilis, peppers

>>14710801
Why?

>>14710786
Make it from scratch in the exact amount of time and effort it takes to make kraft dinner

>>14710819
>onions
disgusting, does not belong with mac and cheese at all

Nutmeg and cayenne

>>14710954
If mac'n'cheese is all you can muster and put in your precious body, then a bullit is the answer.
You, are probably on this planet for 40 years, Do make better.

>>14710974
Imagine getting triggered at someone online eating macaroni and cheese

>>14710985
You're right. I shouldn't give a fuck
This decaying planet already got too many humans inhabitating. Let's get rid of 2/3 already and start living decent lifes.

>>14710786
Mac and cheese is so disgusting. I wish i didnt know its a thing.

>>14710971
cheese and onion pairs well together. it's not common with mac and cheese but it tastes good. not sure about the garlic though, i usually like sauteed onion and mushroom together.

>>14711009
>someone says they eat mac and cheese
>"let's kill five billion people"
get help

Pulled pork, jalapenos, croutons. Only bake mac n cheese and use cottage cheese. It comes out super fucking creamy with a nice crust

>>14711009
Lifes?

a pinch of sodium hexametaphosphate added to the cheese sauce at the end of simmering or right before baking if you are doing that will make your sauce emulsify perfectly every time

i like ghost pepper sauce and a can of tuna mixed in

>>14711216
This

>>14710786
if i’m doing a box of annie’s i’ll add:
>diced turkey slices
>fried egg
>cut up hot dog
>hot sauce
>spoonful of pesto
>more cheese

>>14710786
pan fry some sliced up sausage, also add a bunch of herbs and spices after the cheese sauce is ready. typically add a diced red pepper right at the end, so they stay crisp.

Bleu cheese and sour cream

>>14710786
Add spruce, their leaves are a bit spiky but edible. The cones can be boiled when young. The inner bark can be used to as a flour replacement.

No need to with these bad boys

>>14710832
Try it with a tomato based salsa.

making your own is dumb so i was gonna criticize you but i also came in here to say lawrys so i don't know what the fuck

5/10 post i guess

why the fuck are you eating mac and cheese you insufferable manchild

>>14712287
faggot

>>14712287
because I don't have a napoleon complex like you

yo that spicy italian antipasto paste, here we have it as something called la bamba but idk

>>14710786

>>14710786
Stewed tomatoes with basil ladled overtop. The acidity and sweetness of the tomatoes cuts the creaminess and fat of the cheese perfectly.

>>14714027
Basil once it's done is best imo, the residual heat of the dish will take care of the basil and make it's flavor shine.

>>14710786
peans and tuna :)

>>14714054
penor and vag, sounds like some crap from indian / paki biden supporters

>>14710805
this

>>14710786
Sun dried tomatoes and capers

at least 3 types of cheeses (1 of which should be american cus it makes shit all creamy), panko and cheese on top (you don't need to fuck w/ the panko. some cunts add butter to it but that's pointless)

season your sauce with salt, WHITE pepper, a spoonful of dijon. you should be using as much cream as you can physically handle. mac and cheese is not health food so you should take it to its logical conclusion if you're making it

also make sure some of the pasta is poking out from the sauce (still covered in cheese tho), you get an almost fried texture from those pieces and it owns

>>14710786
Put it in the smoker

Onions, sardines, and peas. The way momma made it

>>14714145
Fresh basil too

i like to make baked penne

>>14710786
Real bacon bits.

Hot Dogs.

>>14710786
whip it at the wall and plop some indian curry on the plate instead

>>14710786
parmesean cheese and fresh salmon

>>14710786

Mac and cheese doesn't need sprucing up, you faggot. People like you ruin perfectly good mac and cheese by adding bullshit to it. It doesn't need anything but the pasta, cheesy sauce, and maybe some bread crumbs on the top. It is a side dish.

Depends. If it’s from a box mix, I usually like to add at least a little bit of real cheese to it, salt, pepper, maybe sausage. If I’m doing it from scratch, I find adding a bit of mustard powder and worchestershire sauce to the bechamel gives it a little more tang that works well with sharp cheddar.

>>14710786
bechamel sauce.
i'm also gonna try to make my own american cheese with colby, sharp cheddar, parmigiano reggiano, some feta, sodium citrate, and evaporated milk.

>>14711267
God you're a fucking weird one. You wanna come over my house? I'll make two bowls of annie's gluten free mac n cheese and you can guess which one I came in. It's like a funny new kind of game, you'll love it.

Hot sauce or siracha

>>14710786
Slap some Worcestershire sauce on some Kraft dinner and you're good to go

So many schmucks who will never experience making a bechamel sauce and adding all sorts of cheeses you want to make a cheese sauce a million times superior to that that fake cheese powder crap.

Salt and pepper.
I'm not going to put the effort in to pretend it's something it's not.

>>14712139
It's not dumb, it's a completely different food.

Ċottage cheese

Ground Beef, pan-fried and seasoned.

>>14710786
All of the fanciest ketchups....dijon ketchup

>>14710786
its just macaroni, no need to put a bunch of shit in it it's not go' 'za

add bouillon to the mornay sauce

>>14715036
do you replace bechamel with cottage cheese?? struggling to imagine a macaroni cheese without it but would like to try something different

Green onions

>>14713986
Perhaps that means that you're not only a faggot that let's his wife/gf get fucked by rampaging nignogs but takes care of the niglets. That's your problem, not mine bitch.

>>14710786
bechamel sauce

Cubed pepperoni and black olives

>>14715192
this but lately i've been adding them to everything

>>14710786
Roasted broccoli. A little garlic powder and pepper

ground beef and black pepper

>>14715089
No. Cottage cheese is in addition to other cheese.

>>14714249
baseado

>>14710786
garlic powder, red pepper flakes, hot sauce and broccoli!

>>14712116
I just tried this and it made me vomit and the food coloring stained everything

>>14710786
I like to remove the pasta, bechamel and cheese because I'm not a fucking infant. Why does this dog shit dish always get a pass? It's like seeing an adult eat chicken nuggets, peas and carrots.

With this (or other similar sauces)

>>14710786
By putting it in the trash and making good food instead

>>14710786
this shit

So many people who are dead inside getting angry at boxed mac n cheese.

tomato, onion, garlic, extra cheese, whatever leftover meat I have, jalapeno and/or hot sauce, pepper

>>14710786

>>14710786
Dried fried onions

hamburger
+ green peppers
+ onions
+ garlic
+M & C
=GOAT

>>14717173
+ bacon -> ++good

>>14717070
Euro trash types that are seething at the USA yet they're getting by merkel every which way. They're jealous and while not admitting it try to keep their eurotrash uppercrust 'tude.

>>14714164
Well well well, if it isn't the smoker

>>14717160
Never tried this. Makes me wanna try dried garlic chips too.

>>14710786
toss it in the garbage and whip up some indian curry instead

>>14717308
Get these Gardettos garlic chips if you can find them

>>14717382
yeah, dredge up the ganges for poo in the loo, not too appealing. Now with extra burnt bodies from those savages.

A hot dog with ketchup, of course! The ultimate poor man's feast!

>>14717479
Wrap it up beotch, in wonder bread.

After age 7 you should not eat macaroni and cheese

>>14710810
Homemade mac and cheese IS so much better that it's worth the extra work, but it's not something someone would always have the time to do.

>>14710786
For boxed mac and cheese, add a little bit of cooked ground beef (4 to 8 oz. precooked weight for 1 box) and chunky salsa for spicy cheeseburger macaroni.

With Japanese cooking, of course.

>>14717232
i also add that too friend

>>14717977
Source?

>>14710786
>spruce
Say spruce instead of "spice" because of the obvious hot sauce overtone

>>14717565
Why? Explain your failed logic, if I can pay for what I want then it's none of your business, get over yourself fag boi.

>>14710801
shut your fuck up

>>14710786
by making indian curry instead

sodium citrate in the health food section of your grocery store, it's an annoying fad but it works like they say it does.

>>14710786
kimchi or sliced dill pickles

>>14719437
curry in kraft dinner would probably be really nice

>>14712139
>making your own is dumb
You can make the cheese sauce by lightly tossing shred cheese in heavy cream and microwaving that shit for like 30s.
It is stupid easy.

>>14719499
fuck off gordon

Lots of people with the palets of toddlers on this board. You all eat slop or something?

>>14719593
What would you add them jackass?

>>14710786
only needs some freshly ground black pepper

>>14710786
usually I spruce it up by adding steak and veggies or maybe bbq and something like green beans. mac and cheese is a side dish

>>000000000014710786

Really? No one's said it? I guess I'll be the one to say it:

OREGANO

16oz of ‘milk cream stuff’ was $3
and a 16oz of alfredo sauce was $1.50 .... can i use the alfredo sauce as a base for mixing in other cheeses to use in my mac and cheese

alfredo and velveeta?

alfredo sauce is bitoni brand or something, from grocery outlet

>>14720181
>can i use the alfredo sauce as a base for mixing in other cheeses to use in my mac and cheese
maybe dilute it with a little milk then add the cheese. if you just add cheese to it with no extra milk it might end up too salty.

>>0000000014720181

If you're using Velveeta, I would probably skip the Alfredo and save a small amount of the pasta water before straining. Then, put the pan back on heat with pasta and add the Velveeta and some cream. Add fresh cracked black pepper and oregano

>>14720209

Add the pasta water before adding Velveeta*

Maybe about 1 cup of pasta water max

>>14710786
Man I wish there was a way to make them the ole soul food southern way not that Yack there its nothing likr the authentic way

Sweet chili sauce
Sriracha
Proceed to put in a pie dish
Top with panko mixed with a lot of black pepper and parmesan
I usually also throw in about 5-6 hotdogs

>>14720267
I forgot to add I usually use sweet chili heat doritos as my serving utensil

>>14720267
AND I also forgot I use about an eighth of a cup buttermilk, and half cup of heavy cream

If it's regular Kraft, protips:

- go heavy on the butter light on the milk
- add a bit of sour cream
- don't mix in the cheese powder completely, especially if you have the shells - some unmixed powder will hide out in the shells and make for the random bite of sharp cheddar here or there. This also helps to diversify the texture of the bites.
- some shaved or grated "real" cheese on top
