When I was in college in the late 70’s, I lived on those boxes of mac & cheese. You could get 4 boxes the store generic brand for $1. You could add anything to it to make it more of a meal: weenies, a can of tuna, spam, whatever you could afford. I used to think they could solve a lot of world hunger with 4 for $1 mac and cheese. I thought they should have been airlifting crates it to places with starving people like Ethiopia, instead of that white greuel those people are always eating.
I add freshly chopped cilantro to mine. Delicious!
