I get the urge to eat mac n cheese once every few months, buy the boxed kind, eat it, and remember why I don't eat it. So basically, I now have like.. twenty boxes of mac&cheese in my cupboard and I have no idea how to get rid of it.
I've looked up recipes, but I keep on finding recipes that either are about making mac& cheese from scratch or involve baking with an oven(don't have one, not really used with Korean food).
So, yeah.
Anyone have any practical, easy recipes to make boxed mac&cheese actually taste good?
Or should I give up, throw away the cheese sauce, and just use the macaroni 'ㅅ';

intravenous cheese drips while making macaroni models of all your friends
|
Throw it away and cook some proper pasta?
Add some sauce, shitloads of pepper, maybe some basil. But yeah, i'd just throw the cheese sauce away and add your own
|
Make your own cheese sauce by melting down some sharp tasting cheese, then pour beer in it while it's boiling. Don't knock it till you've tried it.

Kraft Dinner will never be as awesome as proper macaroni and real, grated cheese.
GG

Donate it all to the homeless. You can't make it taste good.

If you just want to make it taste good without having to make your own recipe, just dice up some spam into little blocks, fry 'em and then toss 'em into the mac'n'cheese right after the mac'n'cheese is done. Tastes great if you like spam. If you don't, then you can do bacon I suppose.
Hell, use both. ^^

-use butter, not margarine or oil
-try fresh ground pepper
-try fried sliced up pieces of hot dog and then mix it in when you add the cheese sauce(can use fancy sausage rather than the hot dog if you're a baller,)
-try bacon
-add some sriracha and stir it up during the cheese sauce face
try diff combinations of this. i wouldn't use black pepper+sriracha for example

lol Easy Mac in the box is awesome, come home drunk or smashed, nuke it and BAM epic cheese food :D
|
yeah just poor real ingrediants in and it will be fine some meat, some mushrooms, prooper chesse. I really like BBQ sauce with cheesy pasta but I'm fairly certain thats just me. Everyone I've said that to has looked at me with disgust and then not talked to me for a couple of days.
|
depends on why you don't like it, if its the cheese you find horrible you can attempt to change the flavor by adding in other cheeses and sauces, if its the texture of the mac I suggest mixing in other pasta and adding in meats of your choice. Either way you're gonna have to work to make it usable, and in the end it boils down to making otherwise tasty food mediocre to make your unappetizing mac and cheese eatable, its your call if you want to do that.

You have 20 boxes of shit you don't like but are willing to spice it up, I would experiment man! If you don't like how it turns out you've wasted nothing!
|
Pour hot sauce on it after cooking, specifically tobasco. Only way I'm able to eat the stuff anymore.
|
This is oen of those foods that you remember being awesome from your childhood. But upon trying it again you realize how disgusting it is after the first bite. I fall for this trap once in a while and it sucks. Makes you wonder if it was really that bad all along. At least you can salvage the pasta from all those boxes.

This is really damn good with soft pretzels.

Spices make the world go round. Garlic, chili powder, pepper, etc, etc.
|
I guess I don't understand why you think it tastes bad, I love the stuff. Honestly though the pasta is low quality, but it's still pasta. Just cook it like you would any other pasta and add red sauce or whatever you like. You don't have to use the cheese powder.
|
The real question is why did you buy 20 boxes of Easy Mac?
|
I like to reduce the cheese and the macaroni by about 100% each, and then add a steak to it. Tastes great!
In other words, you can make mac and cheese less bad, but make it good would be very difficult. Best mac and cheese I made was by baking it after it was done boiling.
