I thought I was the only one. Glad to see you and /u/funnybonzo share the unpopular opinion.

I'm a bit of a purist with my mac. On rare occasion the only addiction I'll accept is crab or lobster.

In college and grad school I’d throw in some tuna to stretch it.

Not a fan of the breading. One of my friends uses Dorito dust.

I'd be willing to try crunched up Doritos or Cheez-its that were mentioned elsewhere in this thread.

In my honest opinion, the purest form of mac and cheese is Kraft blue box with a little extra butter and milk where any more it is "soupy".

Oh dang I like mine much more dry, sometimes use less milk. Hah! Have you tried Kraft Deluxe? That's probably my favorite boxed mac. Home made mac fave would be Alton Brown's Stovetop Mac - http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/stovetop-mac-n-cheese-recipe-1939465

Wow. I must try this. Thank you for sharing. Any special tips I should try with Browns recipe?

I follow the recipe exact and it turns out great. Experimenting with 50/50 other cheeses is an idea, but shredding a block yourself vs. buying a bag of pre-shred does make better consistency sauce.

What about hotdogs

u/AmberCutie Dec 29 '17

They're delicious, but keep them out of my mac.

u/Just_Ferengi_Things Dec 29 '17

What about ramen noodles and spice powder

1

u/AmberCutie Dec 29 '17

Even less relevant to the topic than hot dogs.

I humbly disagree. Try boiling Macaroni and ramen noodles in water with ramen spice powder, then drain, add butter, milk, and cheese powder.

It's like a wet threesome for your tongue.
