A good macaroni cheese is built from a roux, and uses several cheeses to get that flavour.
With that being said, I don’t get why Americans lose cheese so much. It’s fine, I guess? I would much prefer most other pasta sauces over cheese, because cheese alone is just a bit bland.
It’s like Oreos. I think it’s things that are cultural. You probably can’t get into it once your taste has already been shaped. But if you grew up with it, it’s different. We probably all have such things at home. Although typically not from the horrifying US big food conglomerates, which maybe makes them a bit less atrocious.
I can’t understand why Americans love industrialized cheese so much. It’s horribly, full of salt. Unbearable!
I can’t understand how non-Americans have gone their entire lives without witnessing macaroni and cheese that exists outside of Kraft.
brother I’m American and I didn’t even know you could buy waffle maker machines until a few months ago, I thought they were all frozen
It puts the homemade chilimac into the waffle iron
You deserve the hose for this, because now I can’t stop thinking about it.
They have unlocked the secrets of the waffle melange!
Need more context: Are you also 15? If so then this might be acceptable anywhere.
But… how’d you think the got made? Had you never had a decent one at a restaurant?
There is a place nearby where you can buy 5 boxes of Kraft Mac & Cheese for $5. Used to be a box for $.50-75.
When your next stubbed toe could require you to sell an organ, cheap Kraft seems perfect.
2010 Honey look, KDs on sale it’s $.50 a box 2019 Honey look, KDs on sale it’s $.50 a box 2024 Honey look, KDs on sale it’s $1.75 a box
Maccaroni and cheese were really meant to be Käsespätzle but for some reason didn’t.
Look at Mr moneybags over here putting bacon and onions in his pasta and cheese
Don’t kid yourself. Many of us make our own with real cheese.
But was the cheese made in America?
Checkmate American.
So do many Americans, and yet I didn’t invoke their name first.
But isn’t that the most popular one?
It’s cheap.
Yeah but it’s the most popular one right?
What’s your point?
If it’s the most popular one then it makes sense others would of course associate you with that one.
The most popular boxed mac n cheese, again boxed mac n cheese is not the only kind to exist.
That would be like associating all Ramen with ‘Top Ramen’. Does that put in perspective how wrong* what you’re suggesting is?
*Edit: I’m trying to be nicer.
So are the other forms more popular or is boxed the one people make more often?
So, exactly what people do…? lol. If it’s by and far the most popular option then of course people are going to associate the generic term with that.
Make yourself some home made Mac and Cheese someday. Then make sure to burn the recipe so you can save yourself from that daily temptation.
Edit to add, whatever you do. Don’t add chili. Real ChiliMac is a level 5 paranormal entity that will haunt you the rest of your life.

don’t worry, you can still melt some cheese on top of the “other pasta sauces” to get the best of both worlds.

Wait, Oreos are actually bad?
I found them atrocious, but maybe it’s me. The cookies don’t taste like anything really identifiable, the paste is just sugar.
because we grow up on it. it’s a comfort food.
like mcdonalds and all that other super process crap.
