Desert Dude User ID: 46595820 United States 08/30/2014 11:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Deluxe Dinner, Original Cheddar. Quoting: Desert Dude I've tried all kinds of home made, grocery store made, restaurant made (with the little parsley sprig on top) for years. Nothing compares. I don't care if it has some kind of mind control chemical that makes me love it so much. I remember eating that stuff when the cheese sauce was in a little can next to the noodles in the box. Probably been 30+ years now, and I still love it. Does this mind control chemical make your eyes focus (zoom in)and unfocus (zoom out). Nope. I just love it. I eat it about once a month. Yeah I did it, and it can't be undone. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 62030004 United States 08/30/2014 11:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | One I bake myself using cheese cut offs, shredded cheddar jack, heavy cream, dry onion flakes, and rustic stock I make myself by collecting odd veggie peels, small batch left overs, fat trimmings/skins, bones, etc. in a freezer bag and then simmer on low overnight in a large pot of water with some apple cider vinegar and strain thru a wire sieve into jars the next day. I spray a glass baking dish with olive oil, then layer in a bag of dry macaroni or penne with the cheese dusting lightly with onion flakes, ending with a layer of cheese, pour over about a pint of heavy cream, then top up with the stock until it almost covers the top layer, whick I pepper heavily. Cover with foil loosely and bake at 350F on metal cookie sheet until liquid is absorbed and exterior evenly and lightly browned, a bit more than an hour usually. Assembly is fast since the stock is made ahead of time. Variations: drain a small can of diced tomato or Rotel and layer in; add diced chicken or tamales, crushed tortilla chips, and a little green salsa between layers; diced sausage and caraway seeds, or drained, diced artichoke hearts and/or pickled yellow peppers, diced zuchini, mushrooms, small amounts of spaghetti sauce, chopped up leftover spaghetti, wieners... whatever seems appealing as a flavor accent.
