i have like 50 boxes mac and cheese and everyone kind of sick of it ,anyone have any recipes i could try looked up online couldnt find to many appealing ones my family is extremely picky and bored of mac and cheese we get it free from my aunt. dont want to waste it
-
Have you made them with like you would spaghetti?
-
Donate some to a food bank.
-
might just do that ,give to others who might use it
-
That is an excellent suggestion.
I try to do that when I can.
:rose:
-
Do all noodles bother you? Or is it just the powdered cheese? Perhaps you could use the noodles in other dishes? My family has eaten tuna, peas and mac n' cheese several nights. My daughter loves the stuff. My son... not so much but he tolerates it. Husband doesn't like it when I mix it all up - I don't care one way or another.
-
Agreed, if you don't like to add the different kinds meats and other sauces or just use the noodles. I completely understand about getting bored, ever tried the ketchup. Your friends or the food bank would love to take them. :cat:
-
Definitely donate it to your loco food bank.
-
Hmm two dishes that come to mind
1. Goulash
2. Hamburger Helper, Make macaroni and cheese like your supposed to, add cooked hamburger to it, I always add some cooked onions too
-
I have not had mac & cheese in many years. I guess now that I can afford to eat a meal that costs more than a dollar, I do. I lived off that in college.
-
First of all you could tell your aunt to stop sending them (at least until you've eaten what you have.) Second, you could start adding things to the mac and cheese so it's not just the same old thing. There's a recipe for pizza macaroni and cheese, chicken ranch mac & cheese, toss in different cheese and/or noodles with it, turn it into a casserole with Italian meats and spices, make mini snack bites, throw jalapenos and bacon into the mix, you can even throw cheddar cheese with hot sauce onto it. Knowing which foods your family likes you could start with that or something in that food group to mix up the mac and cheese.
-
I would definitely donate it, there are a lot of families with small kids that love that stuff!
-
I'll take some lol
-
Yuck the thought of boxed mac and cheese makes me nauseous. You can easily make your own better tasting mac and cheese and add different things. I saw a show the other day and they made lobster mac and cheese. I'm not a huge fan of lobster so thought of making crab mac and cheese. You could make chilli mac.
-
I cook hot dogs in the water with the shells and then chop them up in the macaroni and cheese mixture. That changes it a little.
Leftover chilled macaroni and cheese is good as a cold salad. Just add some mayo and some veggies.
If I have tomato soup and want shells in it, macaroni and cheese is good because the cheese flavor adds its own savory taste to it.
Bon appétit!
:fish:

wow this gives me some good ideas about to try some for lunch gonna start with pizza flavor with have pizza sauce maybe tomorrow the chillis have some of them also and have can tomatoes as well ,my grandmother used to make noodles and tomatoes she used to put something else in it was delicous but no one remembers what went in it
-
Wow, how did your aunt get 50 boxes of mac & cheese?? That's way too many, no wonder your family is already sick of it. Best to just donate it to a food bank... November is coming, I think a lot of schools/companies will be starting their food drive for Thanksgiving soon so you can just bring these there.
-
Yes try donating it, that will help someone in need.
-
Add onions, mushroom soup and tuna...makes a good casserole. You could change it up by adding any different type of meat or a different soup. Tuna helper has some pretty good flavors.
-
If you don't want it anymore, take it to homeless shelters or food pantries. Or if you know of a family in your neighborhood give it to them.
-
And its Macaroni.
-
Macaroni is not a proper noun. It is a common noun and should not be capitalized unless its at the beginning of a sentence.
-
add a little ground beef to the macaroni and cheese.
-
I used to like it can't eat it anymore.
-
so we tried the goulash noone was found of it the babys loved the mac and hamburger
-
I don't buy the kind with the powdered cheese anymore. I like to make macaroni salad and put mac in homemade veg soup
-
I can't even imagine getting bored with macaroni and cheese, but I guess I've also never had 50 boxes of it, LOL! But I agree with some of the other folks on here and would suggest giving a lot of the boxes to your local food co-op. :thumbsup:
-
Yes! Donate most of the boxes and keep some around if you have kids. They love mac and cheese but throw away the FAKE powder cheese and make your own. Tastes so much better with real cheddar cheese! Yum! :)
-
I would donate them to a shelter or wherever you want to.
-
Love making mac cheese. The best meal ever,
-
have been using them since kids ar
-
Bacon ? add bacon to the mac and cheese it makes it much better well in my case yeah :)
-
I fix macaroni salad. I add tuna and onions and some other ingredients.
-
My kids love Macoroni and chese....
-
Use these boxes in casseroles. There are so many possibilities:
With veggies: Sauteed onions, tomatoes, mushrooms...and many more.
With fish: Sauteed some tuna or salmon.
Make the macaroni, then add your sauteed items after draining all the water
from the macaroni.
