Boxed Mac n cheese

If this is an honest post, it doesn't really taste much like cheese
Just bland pasta with bland creamy sauce on it

I have autism, but I like adding garlic powder and pepper to it. It's pretty good right when you make it, but if you save it and microwave it the quality goes down hill. Also make sure you make the pasta al dente, or the whole thing just sucks.

hydrogenated oil
disgusting

[Anonymous No.16639535]

>>16639515
Add a 1/4 tsp of garlic powder, and not a bit more. If you go crazy with it it'll taste disgusting, a very light touch just enhances the savory. I also like a little smoked paprika and cayenne from time to time.

This guy gets it
He might not approve but I also add fried diced kielbasa/onions

[Anonymous No.16639542]

>>16639522
That means you're eating too much processed foods anon...

I had some mac and cheese the other week for the first time in like 12 years, all I tasted was a blast of cheetoh like cheese and salt. Fucking awful.

leaf here, overhyped trash but it’s decent with fried bologna pieces or hot dogs

[Anonymous No.16639560]

>>16639515
Are these even palatable to someone who didn't grow up with them? My country doesn't have those but I tried them a few years ago from a store that imports american food. I'm not a picky or snobby eater at all but to me these straight up taste wrong, like something that shouldn't be ingested.

[Anonymous No.16639561]

>>16639536
That sounds good too, but I'm lazy and never fried onions to throw in it, but throwing a kielbasa in the same pot you boil the pasta is just easy mode.

[Anonymous No.16639563]

>>16639542
it's truly too salty, someone needs to ease up at the flavor lab over there

[Anonymous No.16639567]

>>16639561
I fry the onions and the kielbasa together
Boiled meat is always a turnoff for me
It's funny because Dindin tonight is gonna be that with a side of cooked spinach
Spinach will be cooked in bacon fat and Worcestershire sauce

[Anonymous No.16639572]

Theres more then one flavor and brand anon

Regret.

I feel the same way about velveeta, seems like an abomination that shouldn't enter the body.

america has a heavily subsidized dairy industry and a government that can't say no to businesses so there is a massive stockpile of cheese and cheese products that probably should not have ever been invented. they have to do something with the processed cheese, so we get shit like this.

[Anonymous No.16639590]

>>16639567
Do you dice the kielbasa before you fry it? I think I'm going to try this when I get a chance, but lately I've been buying the delux kraft with the packet of gooey shit because even when I buy a single quart of milk it ends up sitting in the fridge until it expires. i don't use very much at all, ee and the gf drink our coffee black and it literally just sits there until we're throwing it out.

The third ingredient on the label is cheddar cheese.

Put cut up hot dogs and barbecue sauce

[Anonymous No.16639606]

>>16639590
Yeah by dice I usually mean half or quarter chips.
I actually use heavy whipping cream in mine, just a bit.
Were a milk heavy family, so I could use milk but I use heavy cream all the fucking time or heavy cream with milk for home made half and half
Protip: heavy whipping cream almost never goes bad, it's more likely to turn into runny butter
I had a friend shake my heavy whipping cream before putting it in my coffee "to make it fresher" and I sperged out on him because
>Goddamnit you're not making it fresher, it doesn't go bad. You're making fucking whipped cream you asshole

Jesus Christ this could be a copypasta

check the expiration date/sell by date
tell the brand name/type

but you, if you are in a natural food only zone, have only been eating foods straight from the plow/pasture, are probable sensitive to the preservatives and artificial flavoring, if you still have a box unopened, leave that alongside a box of your local pasta and sauce/meats preserved locally, when your local eats go bad, the boxed pasta will start to taste good

they're made to taste better after the sell by date, take what you will from that

Sounds like you're just used to the taste of semen

You know 9 out of 10 times I don't even have milk in the fridge and end up doing the same thing. I make a lot of sauces with heavy cream, and come to think about it, yeah heavy cream has a way longer shelf life.

I don't eat processed food at all, I'm just recalling from memory really because its been years since I've touched boxed mac and cheese

[Anonymous No.16639827]

>>16639594
that is not true
https://www.kraftmacandcheese.com/product/00021000658831/original-7.25-oz
>ENRICHED MACARONI (WHEAT FLOUR, DURUM FLOUR, NIACIN, FERROUS SULFATE [IRON], THIAMIN MONONITRATE [VITAMIN B1], RIBOFLAVIN [VITAMIN B2], FOLIC ACID), CHEESE SAUCE MIX (WHEY, MILKFAT, SALT, MILK PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, SODIUM TRIPHOSPHATE, CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF TAPIOCA FLOUR, CITRIC ACID, LACTIC ACID, SODIUM PHOSPHATE, CALCIUM PHOSPHATE, WITH PAPRIKA, TURMERIC, AND ANNATTO ADDED FOR COLOR, ENZYMES, CHEESE CULTURE).
in fact there is no cheddar cheese in the product at all

[Anonymous No.16639853]

>>16639594
Why would it be cheddar? It's clearly meant to taste like Kraft singles. Why else would there be a separate White Cheddar flavor?

nostalgia but then realization that it's just empty calories
Don't forget to pick up the butter and milk from the grocery store

[Anonymous No.16640260]

>>16639515
Prep the "cheese sauce" in a bowl with all the melted butter and milk and add some shit like hot sauce or pepper or whatever else you want before you mix it into the macaroni. It makes this shit ten times better.

[Anonymous No.16640279]

>>16639522
This description has unironically ruined boxed mac and cheese for me. Like when someone described chocolate milk as "flavored milk"

[Anonymous No.16640317]

>>16639515
Add extra cheese. From other packets. Or/and add strong other cheese that adds to the strength of the cheese flavour. And brown/caramelize the butter slightly

[Anonymous No.16640841]

>>16640317
I did that the last time I made mac and cheese, it was a bad move
>have sauce but no pasta left
>cook macaroni but leave cheese packet
>weeks later make mac and cheese with 2 packets
It tasted incredibly salty and not very much like cheese at all. It did, however, have a lovely neon orange color

[Anonymous No.16642070]

thanks for the advice, guys. just ate it. it was ok.

[Anonymous No.16642194]

Why would you ever choose kraft over velveeta?

Velveeta tastes better and is easier to make. It comes in actual variety like bacon version or brocolli version

Yet another fucking thread from a plebbitor who claims to have something but can only get a picture of his something from the internet.
