Macaroni and Cheese


Oooooooh what to do when you end up with an abundance of mac n cheese because the coupon deals have been too good to pass up? This was the question posed to me by a friend the other day. I have a suggestion or two, but for some variety, I asked one of my online chat groups for their suggestions. So here's some mac n cheese mixups...

MAC N CHEESE SPAM CASSEROLE (Karen's favorite)
~cook one box mac n cheese and prepare as directed
~dice up and sautee one can of spam with diced onion to taste
~mix mac n cheese, spam/onion and frozen peas into a greased casserole
~bake or microwave until warmed through
~top with extra cheddar cheese to melt (if using oven, you can also top with crushed ritz crackers and broil until browned)
~variation...substitute spam for sliced and browned polska kielbasa (cuz I know there are a few people out there who don't fully understand the amazing attributes of spam *wink*)
**************************************
mac n cheese (prepared)
can of tuna (drained of course)
can of cream of mushroom

Basically it's like tuna helper. I grew up eating this and made it not too long ago for the first time for DH. He thought it was yummy. Brought back some childhood memories for sure!
**************************************
The mac-n-cheese
cooked seasoned hamburger meat
diced garlic, onions, red and green bell peppers, mix and serve.
**************************************
1 box mac n chees
1 can chili

Or just add extra sharp cheese and some mustard. Oh la la!
**************************************
We fry up 1 small can of mushrooms, 3 cloves of garlic chopped in a little butter, and add it to the kraft dinner.

We add a can of stewed tomatoes.

I add it to hamburger helper and toss the small package of noodles out of it, we like it with the chili or 3 cheese and we add the cheese sauce to both.
**************************************
2 boxes mac-n-cheese, 1lb hamburger, add salsa as desired.
