The rise of macaroni cheese!

I think it is the most boring dish on the planet, but my both DH and DD would eat it all day long. Like jusnoneed I think it is marginally improved by the addition of a bit of chopped ham or bacon (ANYTHING!!), but DH likes it straight (DD is veggie so bacon is a no-no).

I love it. I just make mine the traditional way, with a white sauce base, to which I add loads of strong Cheddar and a goodly amount of mustard powder, then plenty more grated cheese to give it a crispy topping. The only thing I've ever added occasionally is a tin of sweetcorn. I think the tasteless stuff most of us remember was just due to stinginess with the cheese.

I make it sometimes, nice with a mixed salad.
I make a strong cheese sauce and add the cooked pasta. Sprinkle some grated cheese and breadcrumbs on the top to make a nice crunch when it's baked.
I sometimes add some chopped, fried bacon. Never tried it with tomato in the dish although I have served roasted tomatoes with it as a side, with toast or garlic bread.

Oh, forgot to say , I put a little bit of mustard in the sauce.

Love it. Similar recipe to above but haven’t used the tomato except sliced on top. Accompanied by toast. Yummy !

Oops "Eat until none left" was meant to be at the end

We love Mac 'n Cheese, it's not the boring sloppy white sauce stuff, but made from my mother's recipe:

Make a base sauce of fried, chopped onion and tomato.

Cook the macaroni pasta.

Layer the onion and tomato sauce, then layer of pasta, then grated cheese (liberally). Repeat.

Eat until none left.

Beat 2 eggs into a cup of whole milk, season with salt and pepper and pour over the waiting pasta dish tilting it this way and that to distribute.

Bake for about 35 minutes until "risen" (it sort of puffs out like a pie) golden brown and the final layer of cheese has melted.

It's a 'thing' isn't it, corner?

Sorry, kitty, in a word - no . Be interested if others have as our older two grandchildren say they love the stuff, never on the menu here.
