darrenk75b Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Is it bad when you are more excited about cooking some simple mac and cheese that your 3-year-old son? Seriously, I don't think I will ever get tired of the stuff. And to make it even better, they now have Spiderman mac and Cheese! Sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Now are you talkin' the powder flavor stuff, or the creamy "cheese-in-a-toothpaste-style package" mix? That stuff mixed with a can of tuna rocked for 93 days of my 127 day AT hike.. Day 94.. I just couldn't bear to eat it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimel Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 My name is Kevin. I am a Mac & Cheese addict. I prefer the Kraft in the blue box with the powdered cheese. In college/grad school I couldn't afford Kraft so went for the store brand at $1/10 boxes (yes, really). Toss in a can of corn and a can of tuna, top with a hand full of crushed potato chips and bake. Yeah, sounds disgusting but it was good eating back then. Like $2 bucks and that was at least two meals. When I am home sick my wife says she knows when I am getting better once there is a mac & cheese pan in the sink.

smokshwn Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 If you love Mac and Cheese. FIX restaurant in the Bellagio in Vegas makes deep fried mac and cheese that is undoubtedly one of the top five culinary tastes I have ever experienced. WOW!

dcarter Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I love it with tuna and hot sauce. I leave out the hot sauce for my kids of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I was at the Bellagio I had a hard time making it past the chocolate fountain.... The company that I work for did the structural design of that Bellagio Tower. You would be amazed at how much money it cost them to redesign the structure for that stuid chocolate fountain! Back to the topic.. Powdered "cheese" is my favorite. Add half a can of tuna= ghetto casserole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micah Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 In college/grad school I couldn't afford Kraft so went for the store brand at $1/10 boxes (yes, really). Toss in a can of corn and a can of tuna, top with a hand full of crushed potato chips and bake. YES! I did the same thing with 100 for $1 ramen noodle packs. You'd be amazed what a little taco sauce, relish, stadium mustard or basalmic vinegar can to for the mix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatland Shooter Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 In college/grad school I couldn't afford Kraft so went for the store brand at $1/10 boxes (yes, really). I, like Kevin, spent a fair amount of time living off of mac & cheese while in college. Unlike others on the forum, I still can't stand the sight of the stuff. And I graduated in 1975! Bill (add to the list of "can't stand thanks to college" is cheap pot pies and instant mashed potatoes.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FranDoc Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Genuine comfort food. Too many up-all-night's during training, followed by 7 years of straight night shift in ER. Something warm in the gut - good protein & carbo load at o'dark-thirty - makes a bad shift almost tolerable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisStock Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Being relatively new to the forums just means I have more tears of laughter to shed as I dig up old threads here at BE. DJPolo, I havent the ..umm...nerve to waste a fine box of M&C with that stuff. I was broken of it years ago. Thanks for the memories, though!

kimel Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Ah Spam and Mac...I only had that when I had spare money around. But that is definately the bomb! The wife will not let Spam in the house. I have to sneak it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Like others I ate my fair share in college. Easy Mac, while the portion is a little small makes life great here in Afghanistan. Then we got a surprise in a recent care package. Easy Mac w/ Bacon! Not too bad. I prefer the old school Kraft powder stuff with a scoop of sour cream or the Stoeffer's stuff in the black bowl. Good crusty cheese on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhgtyre Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Lo Lo's Chicken and Waffles in south Phoenix has the best mac and cheese I've had in Arizona. Nick's BBQ in Nashville Tennessee has the best mac and cheese I've ever had. The BBQ isn't bad but the mac and cheese is off the chart! As Homer would say, "hmmmm.... cheesy." -ld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPatterson Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 If it weren't for Mac & Cheese, Spam & Hot Dogs my kids would have probably starved as I was working my way up through the ranks. Then we were able to afford Hamburger Helper. In the early days a Military man with 3 kids qualified for food stamps now they are starting at half what I was making when I retired. As an E-3 I made $99.37 a month before taxes & other company obligations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
