Poll of the Day > What kind of macaroni & cheese do you usually buy?

(+) Yeah! (+)

And do you usually add anything like bacon, ground beef, peppers, etc?

I make my own, I'll add toppings sometimes but its usually minimal. I'll do scallions, maybe bacon.

I make my own. Sometimes I'll add in bacon, usually seasoned bread crumbs.

---

Making a cheese sauce from a roux is the best way to do it.

But if I buy a boxed mac and cheese, I get the Velveeta Shells

I've done bread crumbs as a topping, but I usually instead mix in some frozen peas just a minute or two before serving

---

I like the Mac and Cheese squared from the Yardhouse, they use chanterelle mushrooms in it and it is so good

---

Kraft

sometimes four cheese Kraft

Deluxe usually.

Frozen in general. I don't like tinned or boxed that much. I don't mind the quick meal ones in pots though.

Homemade is always best. I'm lazy though. :3

I like to buy Stouffers. I can make my own which apparently people love. But its crazy expensive... I dont add anything into the Stouffers kind. If Im making mine at home, I usually do something like pizza Mac or whatever...
---

Cheese goo. I usually add some sauted onions and mushrooms with chunks of whatever meat happens to be leftover from the night before. Garlic too.


---

I don't. It's gross.

---

The Kraft boxed stuff with the powdered cheese. I almost always add tuna to it.

That's worse than plain m&c.

---

I make it homemade. But if I do buy boxed it's the Cheetos ones. Rarely.

---

I cant stand the cheese goo. Kraft for me. Back in college Id throw in some pepperoni too.

---

I would just make a proper, full macaroni dish.

---

Kraft and Annie's.

---

This thread made me want mac and cheese so I opened a box of the deluxe. Guess it "expired" 8 days ago.

This Oven Mac and Cheese option I see is changing my life. I never imagined making it in the oven. I'm doing that this week.

It's the best way to have mac and cheese. It's just too much work.

Not a fan but I buy a $4 package of pre-made Mac that tastes slightly better than normal Kraft Mac and cheese. Heat and serve is convenient but Ill get it once every 2 months because I prefer potatoes and anything with potatoes is super cheap anyways

KD. Add some cheese slices at the end.

I have chives growing on the balcony, but lately Ive been adding Filipino hotdogs (red) because the gf is from there and buys the things. Havent added the onion-flavoured plant-sticks yet.

The powdered stuff. I also add in tuna fish and peas.

My grandmother made it that way when I was little. She also added in hot-dogs and frequently put baked beans as a side. However mom refused to buy the better-quality dogs and I never realized it so I wondered why it tasted like crap (the cheap kind are basically pink goo in a tube) as a kid and stopped adding them.

TC didn't say any of those toppings were included in that pic.

I make mac and cheese from scratch because that's how my mom taught me. I use a combination of cheeses (cheddar and gruyere) then I bake it.

both regular and deluxe kraft

stouffers occasionally

the walmart brand version of kraft deluxe is pretty decent, too. it takes better than most store brand versions, almost as good as krafts,and it's like half the price.

for the powdered version, every store brand is terrible. especially walmarts. off brand versions, like annies, or devour, or what have you, are usually pretty mediocre as well. though cracker barrels one, with the cheese sauce, is better than krafts imo.

velveeta can do die in a volcano for all i care. it tastes nasty as hell. the funny thing is that velveeta is made by kraft, too, so they just have two different versions of cheese sauce, with one being disgusting, for no reason. just get rid of velveeta, there's no point to it.

i just boil some noodles then add butter, shredded cheese, and some salt. my son likes it a lot

Kraft boxed. Always Kraft. My mom makes good Mac and cheese though. With the boxed stuff I always put in a couple extra slices of cheese for good measure.

---

Why would I buy it when I can just make it

For any reasons. Its probably much faster. And if its anything like mine, buying is much cheaper...

One of those Bachelors packs where you add water & milk and stick in the microwave / hob (voted for the top option). Can't stand tinned Mac & cheese.

---

Regular ol' Kraft blue box.

Sometimes I'll get the Velveeta Shells 'n Cheese, but I have to pay more attention when I cook it.

I only had their black pepper version which was terrible.
