fried mac and cheese... it might give you a heart attack, but at least you'll go out happy.

Actual conversation I overheard in a restaurant:

Boy (looking at children's menu): Ooh! Macaroni and cheese!

Mom: It's not KRAFT Macaroni and cheese.

Boy (disappointed): Oh.

Made the baked version of this Mac and Cheese a couple night ago and it was amazing, even reheated the next day. I traded out the breadcrumbs for crushed cheese and garlic croutons and it added a great complement to the cheese inside.

@PinkCircleO8 Take an metal or glass mixing bowl (which-ever you have) and place in on a pot with an inch or two of water in it. Make sure the bowl fits into the pot by the botton 1/4-1/3 of the bowl. Turn the heat to high to get the water boiling then drop to a simmer. Place the bowl with the ingredients on top then mix away! (use a wisk)

The hot sauce just adds the chili flavor without the heat. It's just there to round out the flavors.

@Celestyal22 Thanks. I'll try to do it that way next time. Two questions. First, what is a double boiler, and second, what will the hot sauce taste like?

[Celestyal22]

@PinkCircleO8 continued...making sure each batch is melted before the next. Toy with the spices too, add more or less of whatever until you like it. I just don't like mustard in large amounts (unless on sandwich of course) and I really don't like canned milked. So try that and post on how liked it!

[Celestyal22]

@PinkCircleO8 I didn't like it at first either so try this instead; mix the eggs, then add heavy cream (one of the $1 small containers is 8oz so just use about 3/4 of it), add the hot sauce for flavor (it doesn't make it hot so don't worry), back off the mustard to 1/4tsp, salt and pepper like usual but make sure it's a metal bowl. Place over a double boiler until it thickens to your liking, add to noodles and keep the heat just above low then add the cheese in small handfulls...continued

@PinkCircleO8 Sounds like your doing everything right. Maybe instead of the english cheddar you should try the velveta. I use that when I'm making it from scratch and it usually turns out good eats.
