Macaroni and Cheese? That's clearly a tray of meatballs OP....

So wait, you guys take macaroni and cheese literally? Like nothing more than pasta and cheese?

I always imagined it was with bechamel sauce and ham and was just called like that.

But they are 2 different recipes.

[–] scoobford@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 month ago

No, this is a food crime. Mac and cheese is macaroni and cheese sauce, not...this...

[–] TheGalacticVoid@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

Yes and no. The cheese is supposed to be a liquid or sauce

I don't know that I've ever tried any truly tasty mac & cheese that wasn't KD. Various restaurants and everyone's aunt makes this shitty "gourmet" stuff that tastes like cold, soggy noodles and congealed white gravy. People talk about their aunt's congealed gravy as though it's a succulent delicacy, but it's always as terrible as the last batch and is easily upstaged by KD.

For how small Lemmy is it is incredibly odd to see my "backyard" posted here somewhat often.

I mean yeah long island has a population in the millions but still...

(Queens and Brooklyn you're on long Island, there is no bridge that separates us!!)

:P

Kraft singles are fucking gross

This looks like a joke, a disgruntled employee, or both.

You can clearly see that there is proper cheese sauce on the macaroni, but then there's just ~~six~~ nine or ten heat lamp nuked slices of American Cheese* added haphazardly.

*For anyone lucky enough not to know what that means, imagine cheese whiz solidified and packaged into individually plastic wrapped slices.

[–] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

American cheese is like when you start making a bechamel from mild cheddar but only soften it some.

Next step in softness is Velveeta.

Cheese whiz is three steps.

The sharpness intensifies each time.

I was referring to it's chemical makeup i.e. it's a cheese-like product, not cheese product.

[–] zagaberoo 1 points 1 month ago

It's literally cheese with added emulsifiers but ok.

[–] SatyrSack@feddit.org 3 points 1 month ago

"Oh no! We are almost out of Liquid Cheese Product #3. We don't even have enough to make this batch of macaroni!"

"Just make this batch with the rest of the Liquid Cheese Product #3 that we have, then add some slices of Semisolid Cheese Product #2 on top. No one will be able to tell the difference."

[–] ImWaitingForRetcons@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

To be fair, it looks like a normal mac and cheese with extra cheese slices melted on top- you can see the sauce when you zoom into the pasta

[–] AmberRose@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Yummy 😋 favorite 😋
