Macaroni Cheese - how do you make yours?

[Nixon]

I put different stuff in mine..depends what we've got in the cupboards,but most of the time I don't like it without trimmings.I put a packet of smashed up cheese and onion crisps on top of mine with lots of cheeze and that gives it a nice crunch and taste bacon,spinich,sundried tomatoes,red onion,mushrooms..whatever we've got that would taste ok

 

[Fedayn]

I just follow the directions.

If I had a million dollars....

never made it.

It is great stuff to spice-up. Either when you make it, or to add extras/spices to when you serve it.

I really love Kraft Mac and cheese.

[Baronage-Phase]

Mozzarella mixed into the sauce.
Then throw in the cooked macaroni.
Grated Percorino cheese in top of that...lots if it.
Breadcrumbs on top of that.
Bake in the oven for 25 mins.

Delicious.

Coop do a very nice Irresistible Macaroni Cheese for £3 (usually £4, and my local only sells it when it's on offer). Asda's have messed up the recipe for their previously superlative Extra Special offering at £3.50, but it is available in a very good value meal deal. I don't go to other places, though I'm told they exist, and perhaps they have similar offerings?

Open tin, heat then stick under grill with cheese on top and maybe a few capers.

Something added to a cheese roux sauce

I like making keto sauce with macaroni.

Melt equal amounts of cheese, cream cheese , butter and cream. Stir and heat and voila!

 

[Ming]

Nope

Crunched up crisps as a baked topping?

 

[bimble]

Cinnamon is surprisingly nice added to macaroni cheese but it's not that either

 

[Ming]

Is it an addition to the basic recipe or a change to the fundamentals (giss' a clue)?

 

[Ming]

Chopped ham or bacon.
