So I was hungry and bored and a little drunk and decided to make some homemade macaroni and cheese. I found this old leather-bound book that looked like a cookbook, so I opened it and followed a recipe. Turns out it was like the Necronomicon or something and I summoned a demon. He’s sitting on my couch right now being a dick, watching Netflix and drinking my beer. He won’t leave and says he’s going to take my soul unless I make him the world’s best mac and cheese. I have a box of crappy dollar store instant mac in the pantry. What can I do to make it better? I don’t have any crazy ingredients like fancy cheeses or truffles. Help.
Bacon and/or hot dogs, cut into small pieces and cooked separate.
Broccoli or other easy frozen veggies, especially if you fry / saute them first.
Hot sauce / siracha / taco bell fire sauce packets (if you like a little heat).
Salt the crap out of the water you cook the pasta in. Also a little olive oil in the cooking water. You can even add dried seasonings now (like dollar store italian blend) and they willget some flavor soaked into the noodles.
Feel like its too healthy? Are you an American? Pour in a little ranch dressing (a little goes a long way).
Whole milk for cooking. Always.
Knock off mac n cheese tends to suffer in the cheese powder departmentnext to kraft / annies, consider springing the extra 50 cents in the future.
Thanks for listening to my TED talk.
