Katie,

Since you’re here in the north, you should try President’s Choice white cheddar mac & cheese. Available at Loblaw, No Frills, Zehrs, and related chains. Widely preferred to KD. Look for the black box.

Also: In separate bowl, take can of tuna (chunk light – No Name is good). Add low fat miracle whip & mix. Mix tuna mixture with Mac & Cheese — instant tuna casserole, with protein. Adds ~ $1 to the cost of the meal.

Ketchup & Black Pepper (fresh cracked if you can) is also popular chez nous.

PS: Dried noodle nostalgia. Does anyone have an archived version or fresh link to the old Friends, Ramen, Countrymen site?

Ha ha… love it, Kraft Dinner and the wide eyes of a Dickensian orphan. :)

We don’t eat this much anymore since we’re trying to be good but when we do we often add prodigious amounts of black pepper and some mustard powder. In mine I also add garlic powder – or to the whole pot if I don’t want to share.

Sriracha! Adding it to mac ‘n’ cheese might very well be the culinary discovery of the summer at our house.

Of all the mac n’ cheese recipes in the world that I would have guessed you’d link to, Patti LaBelle’s is last on the list.

During college my brother survived on what seemed like a diet entirely consisting of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. He swore by Tabasco sauce.

I really, really, really like mustard in my mac n’ cheese. I also like to add blended cottage cheese to the mix. It brings the tang while lowering the fat.
