Boxed mac and cheese isn’t bad. Make 4 packages, add a pound of shredded cheese and an extra pint of milk, cover with breadcrumbs and bake.
We were at an event Saturday night, and they served “bbq” (smoked pulled pork & shredded chicken with choices of sauces). One of the side dishes was macaroni in cheese, which was made with pepper jack cheese. It was good, maybe a little TOO spicy, but different and good.
