	Macaroni and Cheese Tired of ads?

Which kind do you make? I'm partial to the kind with the powdered cheese where you add milk, since Easy Mac (where you just add water) doesn't taste nearly as good, and the velveeta kind is too messy.

Macaroni and cheese? That's two things not to mix... on the other hand... chesse can't be mixed with anything to taste good anyway...

Velveeta (boil the noodles, add the cheese packet)

Hmmm... Macaroni and cheese?

This must be some form of self-torture among the jewish communities in tonga...

well, I've never tasted it, but I can imagine they mix quite well together.

I haven't had Mac&Crap for a long time. I guess I'd go with the powdered cheese type.

Well, I haven't eaten this stuff since college, but now that I have two young girls, that's on the menu almost everyday.

The best is not the velvetta (it's okay), but the Kraft version which comes with noodles and the cheese packet (just like the velvetta package). So I selected Velvetta option on the poll.

The only thing is that reheating leftovers of the velvetta or kraft with cheese packet. It's much less than optimal the second time around.

The Kraft packaging which you add the powdered cheese, milk and butter is good (i ate that growing up with cold green peas - my fav). That stuff reheats okay.

As far as home made, the oven baked mac and cheese is not my favorite. It tends to be dry and tasteless IMO.

Easy mac? Please. If you are in a hurry and you have nothing else. Usually when I realize that we ran out of milk or butter -- it's emergency rations for my daughter. I hate to be a mac and cheese snob, but I guess I am.

I just realized I know way too much about mac and cheese. I'm going to show my daughter this post...she will be very proud of me. I'll see if she wants to add anything.

"organic" and "instant" don't go together.

No, as long as you prefer kraft dinner over home made, you don't have to worry about that.

Annies is quite tastey.

However, my favorite is Velveeta, but I boil the noodles, and slice the Velveeta myself from the brick. Tastes much better. For some reason, the cheese packets have a bitter aftertaste.

i'll have to agree. the foil in those cheese packets doesn't taste so great.

I wouldn't be surprised if some hard drinkers on here find some way to mix a little vodka in with their macroni and cheese.

Why would anyone use vodka for flavoring? It's a flavorless liquor.

No real cheese? Y'all are sick.

The real question is, what do y'all add to your mac&cheese? Last time I added garlic and cayenne.

Fresh macaroni, plus a mixture of cheddar, colby and monterey jack, some cream and the crowning touch--nutmeg. It's heavenly.

Ditto. I put garlic powder and ground ceyenne (or ceyenne in suspension, in the form of tobasco sauce) on pretty much every rice-or-noodle-or-potato type food that I eat.

Salsa's a good addition, as are califlower, broccoli, bacon, ham

Saturday, I found a box of Kraft MacNCheese that had expired in May, cooked it, and turned out quite nice. I think the extra aging helped out the taste

Actually, I know a few guys that in younger days replaced the ingredient water with vodka when they made instant mashed potatoes (ie, mix powder with water)...
