Though my parents often encouraged me to make other meals and would even leave me several other options, I was not to be deterred from making macaroni and cheese several times a week. My parents used to even scare me a bit by saying that I ate so much mac & cheese that I’d one day turn into one big noodle (and I only kind of believed them). But despite their efforts to sway me from the mac, I never got sick of it – and that statement remains true up to the present. Macaroni and cheese successfully got me through crazy high school weeknights, many late night college study sessions, and countless hectic work days in my early adulthood.

It’s cheap! If you go for the brand name (specifically, Kraft), you can often find 10/$10 deals at chain supermarkets. However, if you opt for the store brand (which I find is usually just as good), you can often find single boxes for $.50 or less, or a package of 6 -10 boxes for under $3. You only need 2 staples to add to boxed mac & cheese: milk and butter. And these 2 ingredients are probably up there with the top 5 kitchen staples out there.

You can customize it to fit your dietary needs. For example, I try to make my mac & cheese a bit less fattening by using skim milk and 1/4 of the recommended butter or margarine when I mix up my mac. Sometimes, I’ll even opt for the “whole wheat” mac & cheese if it’s on sale. It’s pantry friendly. Boxed mac & cheese can easily last for a year (probably more) in your pantry, so it’s easy to stock up on sales when you find them. One box can create a meal for 2 or up to 5 side-dish servings.

The add-in possibilities are truly endless, as I hope to show in the rest of this article! Easy Add-In and Toppers. Crumbled bacon or Bacon Bits.

Bread crumbs (great use for day-old bread! Simply crumble up, top your prepared mac and cheese with the crumbs, and even stick it in the oven for a few minutes if you want a crispier texture). Grated parmesan or Romano cheese. Shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, etc.). Black pepper. Hot sauce. Ketchup (great for leftover mac and cheese.

May sounds strange, but the kids love it – trust me! Just put a little milk in the leftover mac before heating it up in the microwave. Then add some ketchup in to taste and stir before serving.). Chopped hot dogs or ham. Chopped veggies, such as steamed broccoli.

Peas. Canned tuna. Ground beef. Chopped onion.

Ranch dressing.

Taco Mac & Cheese: prepare your mac and cheese as you normally would. Next, brown 1 pound of ground chuck, making sure to drain off any grease. Add in 1 packet of mix. Add in the seasoned beef and one cup of cheddar or Mexican cheese to prepared mac.

Buffalo Chicken Mac: coat 1 pound of cooked, shredded chicken into your favorite buffalo sauce. Boil the macaroni and drain it as usual. When you mix in the cheese packet, also add in 1 cup of gorgonzola or blue cheese. Finally, add in the chicken and 1/3 cup of diced celery and mix well.: this is a delicious way to use either a full box of mac or any leftover mac you couldn’t finish. They make a great, easy appetizer for any gathering as well!.: okay, at first I thought this was just insane. But then I read through the recipe and it’s actually kind of genius.
