First off, NO I'm better than you CRAP! These posts always go south! I don't care if you are against boxed foods, and you go out and make your macaroni from scratch and use organic sweden grown blah blah cheese. That's your way! Some people still eat the boxed crap lol!

So! My questions...
What do you like to add to your mac n cheese?
Are you super picky about it?
Do you like pepper in it?
Do you ever make it with noodles and velveta? I tried once and it was like pasty..I forgot to add milk or butter.

I'm preggo and the kids LOVE mac n cheese..I love it as well but I can't eat it without pepper! Is that weird? I add frozen peas and carrots to it for the kids but I hate veggies with cheese besides broccoli and cheese..yum! I like to make burgers on the grill, beans, potatoes and mac n cheese when we have my parents over to cook out.

I love mac and cheese!! I only like the kraft brand, the one with the powder cheese mix! And for some strange reason I think the spirals taste wayyyy better than regular noodles! Sometimes I like adding hotdogs, and I love pepper on it! Ohhh, and I live mixing macaroni with a can of chili! Instant chili mac!! :) soooooo yummy!

I like it homemade with garlic, pepper, sometimes ham and a crunchy topping.

I agree. I'm very sensitive to salt.

Quoting PeaceMuch:

I like homemade better. The boxed stuff is too salty for me. And no that doesn't make me better than anyone. Lol! I do love lots of pepper on mine. And I love putting chicken, bacon and broccoli in it. Yum. I haven't had mac and cheese in awhile...now I want some. Ha! My boys like hot dogs in theirs.

I absolutely LOVE mac n' cheese, and yes, with pepper too! That's been one of my few cravings since pregnancy. I've never added anything besides pepper, but I'm sure breadcrumbs would be a nice addition. Enjoy all the mac n' cheese you want. You deserve it!!

I love the great value thick n creamy :)

Ironically Kraft tastes cheap to me. There's no flavor


Quoting CheyennesMommy2:

Oh and I hate Kraft mac n cheese! I prefer the walmart brand! No clue why...

My mom used to make macaroni and cheese with tuna and peas all mixed together. It actually tastes really good. My husband mixes macaroni with hot dogs

I add garlic to just about everything... Lol

Quoting ambermarie2006:

I SWEAR I'm not going to say I'm better than anyone lol. 

I do like mine homemade though, but thats because I found an awesome recipe years ago and the kids have gobbled it up ever since. I add garlic to mine, yeah weird I know but we love garlic in our house.

I this is going to sound weird but I like to add buffalo sauce or hot sauce to my Mac and cheese. One day dd(4) insisted I add hot sauce to hers so I did and she loved it and I loved it! Lol
