Unfortunately I don't have a fresh onion here at the moment, yeah it's better but it's also pretty early in the morning so hitting up a store for just an onion just isn't in the cards. The French's ones have a nice crunch that nothing else compares to.

>> No.11961376

What I like to do is take spam and cut 3 thin pieces using a cheese slicer. Then, I take those 3 pieces and fry them in a pan until they’re golden brown and hard as bacon. Then I chop them up into tiny bits and stir them into the mac. It’s much better than you may think.

Seems like something that I'd try now that I know to try it out. I've done that sort of thing with scrapple before and it worked out pretty well, just make sure to not get the "lean one." We get scrapple here in NY because I'm just across the border from PA in the Binghamton area.

It's sounds pretty nasty but it's really good when cooked up properly. The first time I got it was for free when I bought some hot peppers and some sausages from a vendor in NYC. He was like hey, you qualify for a free block of scrapple, I didn't know what that was and when I asked what it was he told be straight out that "you don't want to know." That interested me, now that I live closer to PA I can find it in grocery stores here in NY.

It's better to just try it out then delve into the ingredient list.

Whenever I have dungeness crabs, I save the water used to cook them and cook crab mac & cheese with it. All the flavors are in the shells/connective tissues. Using crab meat is a waste unless you're rich.

Sometimes, I wake up very early in the morning, still delirious from a deep sleeping pattern. I know I really have to pee, but it can wait until the morning light.

I baked my mac and cheese yesterday, and honestly its the last time I ever will.
Its cooked when it goes in the casserole. Baking it only makes it mushy, it dries out, and the cheese becomes grainy and disgusting. The panko on top wont crisp up until its severely overcooked. Overall a terrible idea.
Mac and cheese will never be "gourmet" its best kept to a very simple one pot, blue box meal for low budget moods.
