#20 Ketchup on Mac-n-Cheese is just as wrong as putting it on hotdogs. Don't get me wrong, I love ketchup. That's why I like french fries, they are just scoop tools for shoveling ketchup in my mouth.
Just like I view corn on the cob as a way to enjoy melted butter and salt. Some people use lobster. I don't like lobster and corn is cheaper.
When I was a kid I didn't put ketchup on Kraft mac n cheese but would put it on mom's home made mac n cheese. Years later I found out that she put a lot less cheese into it than the other ladies put in theirs at church functions. And mom would put in skim milk too. Now I avoid the Kraft crap and put a little hot sauce in my mac n cheese.
My mother's best Mac'n'cheese. One pound of macaroni noodles, al dente. One 11-cup pyrex baking dish. Layer 3 iterations of noodles, cheddar/mozzarella (proportioned to your liking). Just before the top layer of cheese goes on, beat two eggs into milk to make just enough to cover the mac, leaving a 1/4 to 1/2 inch headspace. Then cover the mac, sealing the top with cheese. Then into a 350 oven for 40 to 50 minutes, depending on how much you like the sauce to be "set". Never had a complaint about this dish. You can add ham or chicken if you want, but this is the best mac'n'cheese I have ever eaten. It has fed three or four generations of our family that I know of. I don't recall seeing this variation on any cooking site, but it may be that I just never looked that hard.
#1,4,10, 16, #20, OMG, ketchup mac n cheese! I've seen that happen...on purpose! For another psykosis, I don't wig out over katsup on eggs anymore...small steps.
My kids, unbidden according to the ex-wife, put ketchup on their eggs. I kept telling them that if God had intended for ketchup to go on eggs, he'd have put a tomato in the eggshell. They didn't get it, but now that they're adults, they've stopped the ketchup on eggs.
Sadly #16 is only an artist's rendering. The Pacific has a transverse V6 so putting a V8 in would require turning the engine 90degrees since there is no transaxle tranny that can bolt up to the Hellcat engine. Of course you could cut the floor, mount the hellcat engine in the middle and have the ultimate Q ship. Al_in_Ottawa
I have seen worse than ketchup on Mac & Cheese, imagine Hersheys chocolate syrup on cottage cheese, and ketchup on cottage cheese (a looong time ago in Vermont).
OK, I know I am old and about as not-hip as a person can be, but what the Hell does #18 mean?!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteOctopus - 8 tentacles.
DeleteCat - 9 lives.
I assume an octopus has 8 tentacles Vs a cat with 9 lives.

DeleteGet tested Big Dog. That was an easy one.
DeleteHad me fooled too, Big Dog. I thought it said 8 testicles.

Grill some corn in the husk peel and slap some old bay on it.
DeleteTry yellow mustard instead of Ketchup. And sprinkle some black pepper on it.

DeleteHot dogs need barbeque sauce. (And not one of those excessively sweet kinds.)
#20, my oldest daughter used to do this. I can let a lot of things go but I had to ban ketchup until she stopped!

DeleteWith comments about her liking her Mac'n Cheese 'on the rag', I hope.

Watching that ketchup go into the mac-n-cheese makes me shudder but I do put salsa in mine.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I put in my mac-n-cheese is a spoon.
DeleteTony C or another Cajun seasoning goes good on Mac cheese
Delete#1 is good and so true!
ReplyDelete#15 Is he still breathing?
ReplyDelete#13 is wickedly funny.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember ever doing ketchup on mac 'n cheese, but when my mother fried liver and onions, the bottle of ketchup got diminished somewhat.
