Kraft Dinner

I love it, it’s my comfort. And, you get your regular vitamins and minerals with each servicing!

Gee, Liz, can’t you wait three minutes for something to be done and to eat even here in heaven??

I’m begging you to switch to Stouffer’s macaroni and cheese.

OP, you’re obviously outside of your comfort zone. Practice mastering a PB&J before you attempt to boil water.

Agree that Stouffer’s is amazing, especially with pepper on top.

Use Annie's brand (Shells and White Cheddar), put frozen peas in with the pasta at the last minute. After the sauce packet etc. is mixed in, add a can of drained tuna.

This is actually good - for a non fancy dish. And it's good to know about if you ever have to cook for a child or a teen for a night.

OP, you funny bitch 😁

What’s for dessert OP? Jello? Canned peaches?

Pop Tarts, r8. They're kind of complicated too.

OP

Make a shit-ton of it in your Canadian appliance, the InstaPot.

I finally tried Stouffer's mac and cheese and was hoping to love it like other people do. I was disappointed. The Stouffer spinach souffle is supposed to be good as well, so maybe I'll try that one.

The trick is to spray the pan with oil before mixing in the cheese, so binning it is easier.

Add A1 sauce. Sooo good.

This is probably the most déclassé DL thread I have ever read! MARY!!!

Annie's is great, R6. I add the flavor packet from Korean spicy ramen noodles to mine, and a cut-up hotdog. I know that's horrifying to some of you, but it's good!

"Race to the bottom" is a favourite motto, r14.

Easy. Ignore the directions on the package.

Salt the water. Boil macaroni for 7 minutes. Test if macaroni is al dente. If so, drain pasta. Add pasta back to pot. Two tablespoons butter, stir it in, let it melt. Add the cheese. Add a little bit of milk. Maybe like just a double shot glass full of milk? Stir. Eat directly out of the pot.

Is this where you throw a few pieces on the wall to see if they stick, r17?

I add salsa

A delicacy in Canada!

Just 20 posts and I haven't laughed so much in years!

That's good advice, r17.

Now, add chopped pan-fried ham steak sauteed with baby green peas.

Top it with some breadcrumbs, or even better, panko breadcrumbs, mixed with parmesan.

Bake that at 350 til the panko is golden brown.

Pull it from the oven and top with fresh motherfucking thyme.

Then throw the whole thing in the garbage and buy yourself a Stouffers.

Someone told me he puts tomatoes in his Kraft dinner.

OP

Add a bit of curry sauce. So good.

Once again, like the other Thread on salad, the dish is improved by a “man made” creamy additive. Enjoy!

It sucks. I always found it congealed and got nasty. I prefer Amy's pasta

They changed the formula to make it more natural.... and I think it's better than ever. I love it!

Whatever you do OP, DO NOT drain the pasta.

If the end product does not result in a Yum Yum face, you’ve failed.

Growing up, we had Kraft macaroni and cheese and fish sticks every Friday for dinner. Happy, simple times.

Cheddar Goblin!

Fish sticks, r30? That sounds really complicated.

OP

I make mine in the microwave and add tuna to it

We used to have a big fish stick served in a hot dog bun at my high school cafeteria every other Friday. I found this delicious and would eat two of them. Ain't nothing wrong with a quality fish stick!

This is prison food. And what's weird about it is, it doesn't actually taste anything like cheese.

It just tastes ORANGE.

Fuck Kraft up the ass.

You buy Aldi mac&cheese. You flollow directions, then add all of your bits of cheese - cream, sour, cottage, Swiss, and cheddar. Bake the shit out of it covered (leave plenty of space between cheese and foil, please).

It’s more about paying final respects to your cheese. And the ingredients change as your cheese needs change.

If r36 had a cooking show I would watch it.

Auntie Fee's Dumb Good Mac and Cheese (RIP)

Add chopped SPAM and you have a one dish wonder!

I like the Kraft mac & cheese with the powdered cheese, I usually don't have milk in the house so instead I just use a little water.... still tastes the same.

For years I cooked the Kraft, didn't add anything but the mix (no butter or milk) and then added a bag of frozen creamed spinach. It's looked horrible but it was heaven to eat.

Was this thread inspired by a viewing of Once Upon a Time in America?

And RIP Auntie Fee. You motherfucking bitch.

Oh, safety tips for the drunks: you can use those hunks of cheese you bit out of and tossed in the fridge. You stick a fork in the chunk and hold it by the tines to grate it bloodlessly.

You’re welcome, you sick fucks.

OP just vomit into a Dutch oven.

Is the Stouffer's mac and cheese that everyone's raving about the frozen kind? It tastes more plastic than the Kraft dinner, and the consistency of the sauce is gross. Maybe it's better if you bake it rather than microwave it. I haven't tried that.

Make original flavor Kraft - the kind with the powder, not the kind with sauce already made - according to the directions. Add half a cup of sour cream, plenty of pepper (I like white pepper), and 1 cup of shredded cheddar, Mix till the cheese is melted. Dump in a greased 9" square baking dish.

Meanwhile, melt a tablespoon or two of butter in a small saucepan. Stir in a bunch of panko and mix it all up until the butter is fully absorbed and the panko is just barely starting to turn golden brown. Sprinkle it all over the top of the casserole.

Baked, uncovered, at 375 for 20-30 minutes. Delicious!

You eat it like god intended, with a can of Chuckwagon Stew!

Macaroni and cheese is gross. I hate cheesey and gloppy food.

Auntie Fee is gross too, she's profane and nasty in that common way. She's way too self-impressed. Is she dead?

The best under a buck meal you can buy!

Add SPAM for special occasions.

Here r36 - KD inside Chicken Kiev.

Im gonna try this Stouffer's mac and cheese when I decide to let myself go. I already know I would gain five pounds off of one serving.

Why do Canookians call boxed Kraft Macaroni and Cheese --> "Kraft Dinner?"

Do they only eat it for dinner? If they love it so, is it possible some will have it for lunch ... or even breakfast?

You dudes really need to learn how to make a simple roux/cheese sauce of your own. Using your own pasta, you can make a serious Mac n Cheese and leave that box shit behind for good.

KD also affectionately called Krap Dinner in Canada, r52. KD can be eaten anytime. My neighbours (a couple) will re-heat it the following day and get a SECOND meal out of the small box.

OP

Feeling nostalgic.

[quote]Do they only eat it for dinner? If they love it so, is it possible some will have it for lunch ...

Dinner is the afternoon meal (what you call lunch). Supper is the evening meal.

Macaroni & Cheese was once only one of a number of Kraft Dinners.

I accidentally purchased the whole wheat version once.

It was a horrible experience.

I'm too lazy to do any of the prep for mac & cheese and I don't eat it that often.

I'm a Kraft man.

If you really think the instructions for making mac and cheese out of a box is too complicated, step away from the oven (and all sharp objects) and get yourself into a home for the hopelessly befuddled and let the 60 year old employees make it for you. Are you even potty-trained????

You have to cook it?

No, r62. Especially if you like your pasta al dente.

Stouffer's had a goat cheese and asiago mac & cheese for a while that was great but I haven't seen it in months.

I tried a box of Annie's but there was absolutely NO sauce in it, it was dry and gritty.

Put some dill-infused havarti cheese in that shit!

Throw that shit out!

This is a parody thread, R61, one of several. Another asks why cold cereal is so difficult to prepare.

Ah jeez! Of course it is. Good one too. Although I haven't seen the 'cold cereal' one; that's pretty fucking funny. Thanks for setting me straight (as it were). ;-)
