What kind of macaroni and cheese do you like?

[cape_fisherman]

I prefer baked...custard-type.

My mac is very simple. Just elbows, milk, eggs, cheddar, s&p. It cooks pleasantly firm and is just cheesy enough without being over-the-top "CHEESE". I only put a bit of cheese on the top...enough to give you that golden brown finish.

My wife makes macaroni pie from Trinidad...which is basically the same as I make but has the addition of some herbs & spices as well as being made with a largish bucatini.

I assume we're talking boxed.

My TRUE favorite is a homemade one I use with a recipe that involves grated horseradish...zippy!

But of the boxed, anything that's creamy. I can't abide powdered cheese mac and cheese. Must be the cheese sauce kind. If I'm dealing with fake cheese, either way, I don't want it powdered and reconstituted with milk. No. Gimme the Velveeta.

I do not eat macaroni and cheese.

This commercial brings me to hungry tears!!!!!! (I WOULD LOVE HAVING SOME!!!!!)

Although, I don't doubt that if I made it at home and switched it up a bit - add seasonings and some meat or seafood, I may like it a lot.

Or green eggs and ham? (j/k)

I can't stomach the boxed stuff (except for velveeta, and I don't think that classifies as real cheese anyway). I like the home made with the bread crumb topping.

Also, Dave and Busters makes a killer grilled chicken mac and cheese that is so good it will make you slap your mama.

^^^ Lol! That Dave and Buster's grilled meal does sound good.
I think I'd use some unconventional cheese if I made it at home. Maybe muenster.
Or a white cheese in an Italian style recipe.
Throw in some meatballs.
