17 Ways to Eat Macaroni & Cheese

February 24, 2015 by RecipeLion 8 Comments

Ask any kid to name some of their favorite dinners, and mac ‘n cheese will definitely make the list. It’s a classic! All those tasty noodles smothered in cheese – hopefully homemade for extra gooeyness. It’s sort of a no-brainer as family dinners go. Macaroni and cheese are like Sonny and Cher, Romeo and Juliet, Brad and Angelina.

    The best side for Mac & cheese – definitely stewed tomatoes. When I was growing up with 8 brothers and sisters this was our go-to Friday night dinner. No meat – but very filling and satisfying for a crowd!!

    I make “totchos” with my mac and cheese! Start with super crunchy tater tots, top with the mac&cheese (velvet shells works great), add 1 hamburger and 1 hot dog, grilled and chopped up and top with drizzles of ketchup and yellow mustard. Also good with a layer of hormel chili – with beans or without. Real cheap to make, kinda messy but oh so yummy!

    My all time favorite meal is macaroni and cheese with a side of baked beans. Love the combo.

    Despite having tried multiple different kinds of mac and cheese, my favorite will forever be my mothers classic baked style. One thanksgiving she tried to substitute it for a catered mac n cheese, and although she received numerous compliments from the family, I spoke to her alone and she admitted to the atrocity of passing off catered mac n cheese as hers. In college at points she even made me an entire dish to take back to school and share with friends. They agreed, best in the business.

    Personally I like broccoli as a side dish to my mac n cheese! Mixing it in reminds me of my favorite soup, but it feels much healthier because the broccoli isn’t stewing in cheese. I’ve been looking into pasta alternatives for this dish (I could eat on carbs alone but I don’t think my heart would like it) and stumbled across a recipe for sweet potato mac n cheese! Kinda like zoodles, but sweeter! Maybe it’ll be a new favorite in the future.

    As someone who can’t get enough mac and cheese, or really just cheese in general, this post immediately made my mouth water. I recently have been experimenting with new mac and cheese recipes, including adding different additions to my recipes, and I will definitely be trying out these options as well. I also appreciate that this post offers different ways to prepare the dish depending on the cooker’s time constraints. Whether you need to make a quick casserole or have time for an all day slow cooker recipe, these options look like they will taste great! I can’t wait to try a new mac and cheese recipe. Really I just love any excuse I have to make mac and cheese for dinner again!

    I actually probably eat even more macaroni and cheese now than I did as a kid! Though I’m always satisfied with a blue box of Kraft, my mom’s simple recipe with elbow noodles, half and half, and all of the different kinds of cheese in the house was always my favorite. I’ve started whipping that up as a quick and easy dinner.

    Mac and cheese has always been one of my favorite meals. As a college student I’m always looking for quick, delicious and cheap meals to make for me and my roommates, and we usually end up eating some sort of pasta. I recently introduced my roommates to homemade mac and cheese and while they still eat the stuff out of the box, they prefer the homemade kind. My absolute favorite addition to mac and cheese is BBQ pulled pork. It adds a little spice and smoke to the classic flavor.
