i use only half the sauce packet to cut down on sodium, and then add like 1/2 cup of vegan cheese [daiya]. i also use soy milk instead of milk, and add only one tbsp of vegan butter. i also like to add either corn or broccoli into the mix. then i top it all off with some chili pepper flakes and devour. shit is good, and not so terribly unhealthy.

Do americans seriously cook pasta like this?
Is this shit even edible?
Also why do they insist in calling Maccheroni "Macaroni", it's kinda silly.

>> No.3909833

There's a special place in my heart for Kraft M&C,
so when I make it I throw one box of the pasta away and keep the extra cheese powder packet. I boil and drain the pasta from the 2nd box, then melt butter in the pan. I add a little milk and whisk in the two packets
of cheese powder. Get a nice thick sauce going and
add the macaroni. Mix well and feast!

Start with good pasta. Spazel actually works pretty well. You need to note that pasta type greatly effects how the end result is. If you use a pasta such as ziti, you get this nasty cheesey splurt in your mouth. If you use something like spazel, you run the risk of not getting any sauce stuck into the pasta.

Make certain to cook slightly underdone.


Make a white sauce from scratch. PLEASE. It is not that damn difficult. Spices. Mustard powder works well from my experience. White pepper also.


Cheese: Choose good stuff. Remember, high quality stuff requires less to achieve high flavor. There is also the consideration of texture. You might want the mac and cheese to be a bit stringy, or stretch. This is no place to skimp. I personally like smoked gouda, a bit of mozzerela, and parmesan.


Additives: Perhaps you want more. Hot smoked whitefish is nice. Handmade sausage is not a bad choice. Bacon, proscuitto?

Spinach, tomato? arugala? the sky is the limit.
Lastly make certain your dish is cohesive. Do the ingredients go together? What is the theme of your dish?

Just please PLEASE do not make kraped.

I use medium size shells
milk is okay to use, but it's better if you have cream or half n half to mix with the milk
make a roux, bring milk to boil, add to roux, stir until thick, let cool, add spices ( I use mustard and sriracha) and cheese
For cheese I use a cheddar and jack mix.
black pepper on top, maybe some grated parm

Oh, and god tier is adding pancetta to this, but any cured pork is good, so bacon works.

I would just boil pasta (preferably wheels or shells as opposed to macaroni) and shred a load of white cheddar over it

haven't had it in years though. would never buy it premade though. bought a can of it one time (Heinz) to see if I'd like it ... never again. qiute possibly one of the worst things I have ever eaten

i make a sauce that is similar to a fondue. reduced chicken stock, white wine, evaporated milk (which contains an emulsifier/melting salt), and lots of grated cheese tossed with a little cornflour. the sauce consistency is more like the box stuff but it has a far more complex cheese flavour and a more pleasing consistency/flavour release compared to a roux-based sauce. also i cook the macaroni with a small amount of water in a manner similar to that of a risotto.

>> No.3911153

There are four ways, of which I'm aware, that Americans make macaroni and cheese:

Toss pasta with cheddar mornay and extra
shredded cheddar, serve.

Toss pasta with cheddar mornay and extra shredded cheddar, pour into a baking dish, top with butter-crumb, bake to golden and bubbly, serve.

Toss pasta with shredded cheddar and beaten eggs, pour into a baking dish, top with butter-crumb, bake to golden, serve.

Toss pasta with Velveeta.

If there are others, I'm unaware. Any recipe you're likely to find will be based on or be a variation of one of these four. That is all.

It's a sort of brainwashing from childhood. Luckily, I don't have a shitty weak mind like many people apparently do. I like real cheese (as in no powder+liquid) and higher quality pasta.
