Does anyone over the age of ten really like Mac n cheese?

You are either a fat man child or som uncultured burger if you really like it.

It taste like fucking nothing!! Except cheese and pasta!!!

Please share your thoughts on this I really want to know what goes on in the minds of a Mac n cheese lover.

You need to put more expensive cheese in it and some garlic and crushed nuts. Garnish it with fresh herbs.

We use a mix of appenzeller and groviera. I added smoked gouda once but at a ratio of 1:2:2 gouda:appenzeller:groviera, I used too much and the smokiness was a bit overwhelming. Would be better with a far smaller ratio, perhaps 1:6 or even as low as 1:8 instead of 1:4 as above.
Don't forget to add mustard. Besides adding a delicious backnote which you would only notice in its absense, mustard's emulsifying properties help prevent the fats from separating.

If you're using a good cheese, that's not really a problem. Most recipes also tell you to add a bit of mustard to the sauce. I also like to add a bit of fresh green onion to the top after it's done cooking sometimes. Some people add stewed tomatoes.

But nothing is stopping you from also adding some broccoli, mushrooms, chicken, etc.

It's pasta and cheese, it's just really satisfying for a cheat meal, especially, if you make it from scratch and add your own spins to it. Nothing immature about enjoying certain types of foods, unless you are the type of idiot who thinks chicken strips are only to be enjoyed if you live in your mom's basement or that people aren't allowed to like ketchup (I don't, but idgaf if someone else does.) Does it upset you that some people like things you don't?

>> No.12720589

I never make it by itself, but I’d use it if I’m making American staples.

Like Fried Chicken or BBQ Brisket just pairs well with a creamy Mac

I’ve made it at all different price points, going for a ‘gourmet’ version is a waste. Just pick two good cheeses and not from a kraft package

I noticed that recently. I don't like using prepared mustard because of the vinegar, but I ran out of mustard powder and made it without a few times, didn't think it was a big deal. Just recently made a batch with mustard powder again and even though you can't directly taste the mustard, it just tastes better overall.
