Cheap as hell, some consider nasty...but damn, I love this stuff. The regular old one...with the powdered cheese. Fuck that goop premium shit. It ain't as good.

8/23/2010 12:01:59 AM

FAT PEOPLE UNITE.

I, too, love this shit.

8/23/2010 12:02:18 AM

velveeta's where it's at

8/23/2010 12:03:18 AM

Goop premium shit for the win.

Feel your heart struggle.

8/23/2010 12:05:05 AM

Velveeta is nasty. Premium shit is just unnaturally goopy...like it was made by a bunch of Oompa Loompas whacking off into a big kettle.

8/23/2010 12:07:42 AM

I love dat 190% oompa loompa chz spunk.

8/23/2010 12:08:27 AM

that stouffer's shit is awesome

8/23/2010 12:11:41 AM

i used to think velveeta (and the kraft deluxe) were nasty too

until i did 2 things with them

1. if i'm making it the normal lazy way, i just add milk and butter (just like the powdered kind) to make it less sticky. it makes it really good

2. if i'm not feeling as lazy, i make a quasi homemade baked mac n cheese. still use milk and butter like the powdered kind but i also add an egg and shredded cheese then bake it in the oven! you can add breadcrumbs too. its so easy and a cheap/quick sub for real homemade kind

^ and yes, the stouffer's is fabulous. its even better when you have the 45 minutes to cook it in the oven. then it gets all crispy and yummy

Well, that sounds like it might be worth trying...

But in the meantime, I just ate a pot of the white trash cuisine. Good old plain jane Mac'n Cheese. Now I think my cravings have been sated. And now I feel like going and fucking my cousin, trailer park style.

8/23/2010 12:21:47 AM

i still like the powdered kind though

and the white cheddar powdered kind, too

8/23/2010 12:22:32 AM

i like

8/23/2010 12:23:06 AM

8/23/2010 12:26:34 AM

8/23/2010 12:28:48 AM

^^ you cook it according to the package

then you add the goopy cheese

i add milk and butter (to make it creamy and less sticky/goopy)

crack an egg, mix it in

then i pour it into a pyrex dish

the oven will have been preheated to like 350

then sprinkle the sprinkle cheese on top and breadcrumbs if you want that

then bake for 20-30 mins until it looks done

you don't have to add the egg but the egg gives it the like K&W mac n cheese clumpy consistency

8/23/2010 12:32:46 AM

you cant use the powdered cheese ?

8/23/2010 12:34:26 AM

yea i'm sure you can. i've never done it that way but i'm sure you can just prepare the powdered cheese kind according to the package directions and then follow the same steps

pour mixture into pyrex dish, add egg, shredded cheese, etc.

8/23/2010 12:36:39 AM

i will try this tomorrow and report back

^^ if you do powdered i'd probably add a little extra milk than usual at the end. just so it doesn't get super dry when you bake it. that is the only problem i can think of though!

8/23/2010 12:44:12 AM

I want more Mac 'n Cheese.

And now I'm thinking about some baked skettis!

I said what what.

8/23/2010 2:55:45 PM

goddammit, I have done it again...ate another whole pot, but to add insult to injury, I thieved the cheese pack out of another box so I'd have double the cheesy powdery goodness. Left the milk out and threw in a whole stick of margarine. My ass and my gut have just doubled in size.

But it was worth it. Sometimes I don't mind bein' a fatty.

8/24/2010 12:38:53 AM

8/24/2010 12:42:20 AM

I never have milk

8/24/2010 2:13:36 AM

^Same here.

^^^

Dude, that's suicide. Seriously, I'm concerned.

8/24/2010 2:15:46 AM

we all know you're fat bitch, shut up.

8/24/2010 2:17:52 AM

Exactly.

If a "fat bitch" tells you you done ate too much, you done ate too much.



Oh, and YOU SHUT UP!!

8/24/2010 2:24:52 AM

I agree with the OP word for word

8/24/2010 2:26:07 AM

stealing the cheese packet from another box to make double cheese is completely normal.

i'm serious.

and sometimes when i don't have milk i just make it with extra butter.

i thought this was commonplace. actually, i'm pretty sure that it is because i know other people that do it, too

8/24/2010 2:54:01 AM

so what do you do with the cheeseless macaroni?

8/24/2010 2:55:03 AM

make something else with it! or just enter a cycle of stealing cheese packets.

8/24/2010 4:40:36 AM

I'm going to rain on the parade and say that while I love this and the good ol' memories of eating it.. yumm..

I was in fact reminded, by this thread, that I wanted to buy some Ego Waffles, but the only place you can get them (well, that I recall) around here is Costco, and so I didn't buy them yesterday because I didn't want a whole ton of them in my freezer.

8/24/2010 5:26:59 AM

food dog brand mac n cheese for us poor people

8/24/2010 5:29:27 AM

i made this last night. Added some tuna and sweet peas, makes for a tasty casserole

8/24/2010 8:44:53 AM

1 box of Craft mac and cheese
2 cans of tuna
lots o' crushed red pepper, onion/garlic powder, and other spices
generous texas pete coating (and I mean generous)



and you have yourself a great drunk meal!


^lol I had this written about 15 minutes ago and didn't post it for some reason (switched windows)... and now you beat me to it! but yes, peas make a nice contribution to the mix (actually, so do little carrots... the peas and carrots can is usually perfect)
