I had some for lunch and I feel fine.

A decent, well-made macaroni & cheese (imported from England and found in their medieval cookbooks!) is highly nutritious. Of course, if you eat the junk in a box (which looks like worms vomited up into a bowl), yes, that would be unhealthy and unpalatable.

> classic stuff in the blue box

That’s not macaroni and cheese.

Probably it’s because my Mom made it, but I much prefer “Spaghetti and Cheese”, made with Longhorn cheese.

I’m constantly reminded of Joe Jackson’s “(Everything gives you) Cancer”

What a pointed song.

Kraft. Another large company with lots of money, being subjected to an extortion racket by activist groups.

..with bacon bits!
Add finely chopped broccoli and it becomes a “healthy” dish.

I don’t even consider it real food, and avoid restaurants that have it on the menu. 50 cents of ingredients sold for $15. Please!

Mac n cheese is always better when home made

The deluxe is pretty good. "Mac and cheese is good chow you muppets."

käsespätzle is the gold standard of mac-n-cheese.
This is worth repeating.

Use good cheese - emmentaler or gruyere cheese. Splurge.
Use at *least* three onions caramelized in butter.

The day-glow orange stuff with rubbery elbow macaroni is disgusting. The home made, almost lasagne-like Mac & Cheese that my aunts made was awesome, three different types of cheese, sharp cheddar, white cheddar and velveeta, in a casserole dish, grate some extra cheese on top and bake it until it’s browned. You can get creative with it, too. Like Pepperjack? Use it. Want some onions or garlic in there? Go for it, but you’re going to have to account for the moisture in it.

Good Mac & Cheese made this way once was fairly easily found in southern diners and cafeterias, too, but it’s increasingly difficult to find now.

My favorite is a recipe from “The Vegetarian Epicure” in the ‘70s. I’m not a vegetarian but this mac and cheese is rich and delicious. Fontina, fontinella, and Parmesan cheeses.

“Mac-n-cheese probably isn’t more toxic than other foods”

wow, talking about damning with faint praise!

i can just see the new Kraft tagline for their mac-cheese:

“New, Improved Mac-n-cheese, now no more toxic than other foods!”

Macaroni with shredded sharp cheddar cheese is much better than any boxed Mac and Cheese; and just as easy to make.
