Try adding roasted chicken or bacon in it, it totally changes the mac n cheese game.
Mac and cheese- food of the gods
One of the most perfect foods in the world, for me at least, has not been brought up in a while. I think it needs a conversation at least once a year. Haha
Macaroni noodles, half-way cooked, in a baking dish with a little white sauce or a flour coating on grated cheese, with some sharp cheddar in there, milk and egg mixed in, and a few crackers for a crispy top, baked in the oven. I was thinking about how to end that sentence but it had all it needed.
Some sambal oelek and/or pickled veggies and maybe some diced fresh tomatoes, and fresh herbs such as basil or parsley. . . What more could you want? Maybe kimchi, or butternut squash.

My mom would do a crunchy topping based in more cheese and cornflakes and broil briefly. I liked that part the best when I was young. Now I'm prone to add canned tuna at the table.
I keep waiting for you to post a big tray of mac-n-cheese to the Casseroles monthly competition!
I have an oven here, but I'm not using it for logistical reasons. I'm in an apartment that's part of an old house.I keep waiting for you to post a big tray of mac-n-cheese to the Casseroles monthly competition!
Maybe I should use it.
My mom wrote down her recipe for mac and cheese. She's gone, but the recipe's not. At the bottom of her recipe she wrote "double the recipe if Andy's home". Haha!
So you are right. I need to make some.
Its taste become double and Fantastic. I think, everybody like some chicken with sauce and cheese. Oh My God, mouth Watering Dish. . .Try adding roasted chicken or bacon in it, it totally changes the mac n cheese game.
I don't agree at all. Hints of any kind of cured pork -- ham, bacon, guanciale, whatever -- I'm on board. Anything else, for me, detracts from the point of the dish, which is the magical combination of pasta with cheese. Cured pork works here for exactly the same reason that it works in all legume dishes: it accentuates the depths of the flavors without standing out itself. Mac and cheese should, in my book, have precisely enough cured pork fat/flavor in it to kick it up to intense wonderfulness, but not quite enough to be identifiable. The cheese should SING.
Pasta with chicken can be really good, no doubt. But to me it's not mac & cheese. Add just a little ham, sure.I don't agree at all.
