Homemade, southern style _(slightly altered to be vegetarian permissible)_

I love Kraft Thick and cheesy kind but I also love Velveeta

I like the mac and cheese the Gullah culture makes in my area. It’s cheesy and baked and overall just delicious

I make a mac & cheese with pumpkin, sage, sauteed onions and jalapenos, and a few red pepper flakes. The combination of the shell pasta, cheddar cheese, a bit of feta, and the vegetables is a really tasty combo. It's something that I serve in the Autumn and winter months.

Since I like a strong tangy flavor, I actually prefer the Loblaw's PC Deluxe Mac n' Cheese (Available in Canada's Superstore etc) - cheaper than Kraft/Velveeta, taste better than either.

It was a cool surprise!

It was an epic surprise to see for sure.

Yes! And Mrs. Colcomb is in there too.

Hells ya, its our boy!

I do food reviews while I’m high on my KZfaq channel, just a young youngin tryna make it

Don't we all!

True

Me too 😌

The taste is pretty bland ngl

My standby meal while a struggling college student: brown whatever meat was on sale, add onion, peppers, garlic or other appropriate veggies, dump in a can of tomato product (sauce, rotel, diced, etc) add some uncooked macaroni and a bit of water, season accordingly. Cook until mac was nearly done, add grated cheese. You could mix it up with different meats, spices, cheeses. Probably my favorite was sausage, stewed tomatoes, some jalapenos, chili seasonings, and cheddar.

I dip my balls in it

@Essa Boselin that sounds great and is pretty much on par with what me and my friends would make while we living together doing agg work

My family used to make mac n cheese with deer meat. Pretty good, actually! Have no idea why we don’t make it anymore. We still hunt.

Dice-up your choice of luncheon meat or canned ham, boil the meat with the noodles, stir-in your choice of cheez-whiz, velveeta, canned queso dip, or Troyer government-style cheese after draining. Enjoy with your choice of glass-bottle cola or a glass of filtered water... Eat it out of the pot to minimize cleanup time. Great nightly ration if you use boxed macaroni. Doesn't take up much space, doesn't cost much if you're dining for one. One box, one can, one scoop. Every night. Snack for breakfast. Skipped lunch. Ate it every evening after work. Sweat all the salt out next day. I got pretty lean after eating it every night for a month. People got worried... I eat more soup lately.

I used to make this a lot when I was broke lol

What was different about them? They're the same now, just different labels in different markets.

@@JohnDlugosz 'Mac n' Cheese' was 'home made'... And for some reason, kids hated it. It was yellow instead of orange... had like, breadcrumbs in it.. and * gasp * Real cheese! I MUCH prefer it to the boxed stuff now, but as a kid, it was like being tricked into eating dog food or something.

FE FI FO FUM I SMELL KRAFT DINNAH!

@@NewMessageif I need to eat boxed, send me some Kraft Dinner. I may have to hit Amazon or hit up one of my friends in ON to send me some.

Now we just need Weird Food History to do crossovers with Townsends, Cowboy Kent, and SteveMRE1989.

@Ithecastic shots fired!

I've experienced the same pain

Try Brian Lagerstrom's recipe? It's awesome and my family request it a lot!

Add more milk.

Why not try to get in touch with the ex owner of the business hunt the dude down and ask him lol

Hm.. yes... “Howdy stranger, I’ve tried following you through various social medias to try to ask you about your Mac n cheese from like 10+ years ago sold at your former restaurant” Totally not gonna sound like a creep, stalking some dude over a food recipe.. not at alll

That last name rings a bell...I wonder what his relation was to Sally Hemings, the slave who allegedly mothered a child with Jefferson. Was it his wife? Was James the son of Tom and Sally?

@@SimuLord James was Sally's brother.

@@SimuLord He's the guy and Courtney Love shot him with a blunderbuss so she did.

No wonder he was depressed.

Bs lol stop destroying already existing statue

This would make my year honestly 🙏🏼😭

Ooh yes!!

Waffles are for breakfast. End of story.

@@oldtruthteller2512no one said they werent 😹

​@@oldtruthteller2512it's past your bedtime, Grandpa🥴

But instead you turned into a cat lady

Do you have any simple suggestions for taking a run of the mill box of Mac & Cheese to a whole new level? Like additions you lean on. I have no dietary restrictions and want to skuzzy up my next making of it real enjoyably good!

@@silkeden1 I'm not them of course but just add real cheese to it. If you want to go super fancy you can mix the nuclear powdered cheese milk and flour and make a "rou" sauce to then melt the cheese in but that's getting fancy at that point because you don't want to over darken the flour/milk mix.

@@Drak976 Thank you for this excellent advice and I have a box of shells and cheese winking at me in my cupboard with what you said in mind 🔥

Canadian, eh?

​@Philby Iasgair and the basket used to be a basket until we made it a Net . Grow up Americuck

I walk by the plaque on Niagara Blvd that depicts the Kraft homestead almost every day (Fort Erie, Ontario)

@Philby Iasgair most American tech is bought from foreigners and slightly modified then called " American " . From the light bulb to peanut butter .

My grandmother was born in Canada.Does that make me one quarter Canadian.He He He.

DANG !! in the vid, 9:12, it actually mentions the 19¢ Mac & Cheese !!

Mom Food = Best Food. I can use any ingredients I want but nothing is ever Moms spaghetti I'm ready going to go rap with my friend Freddy it's spilling out my pockets wish I had stuffed them with hot pockets double stuffed hold back Mama's stuff Mama won't be there forever her sauce is spilling out into nowhere. Hit me up Eminem.

I like how the video title call is American but we eat an ungodly amount of kraft dinner in Canada comparatively

The box just says KD on it now. My daughter prefers the Canadian one so we bring back a case when we vacation up there in the summers. There are a couple of ingredients difference, and I guess her factory fresh taste buds can tell the difference.

whenever i make boxed mac, i ALWAYS add real cheese in on top of the cheese. I also use more butter than milk. It creates the stringy gooey texture of a full fledged mac and cheese casserole but in a pot :)

It has to have a pile of grated mature cheddar on top but not melted, also nice with ham through it.

Nice!! We do that as well

@@ejakaegypt awesome. My favorite Mac is the thick and creamy one. It just tastes better ya know?

@@quinnhouk5369 we mainly use the velveeta one, I find it to be creamy as well

You should drop the (true) bombshell on him that pizza originates all the way back from Greece. Watch his head explode 😂

@@DanielSmedegaardBuus right?!haha I commend Italians for being proud but they sure can come off as arrogant and entitled.

​@@DanielSmedegaardBuusI'm certain flatbread with things on it was around way before the Greeks. What Italians also happen to forget is the pizza with tomato sauce, mozzarella and basil was only invented in the late 19th century. For decades Italians refused to even eat tomatoes on pizza (or anything) because they thought it was poisonous.

Every Italian I meet says the same about Alfredo sauce even though my mom went to Alfredo's in Rome and they hand fed her off the golden Alfredo spoon lol they just call him a fraud. Somehow letting cheese touch noodles is gross despite all their other food being cheese and noodle based. It's like if beans and rice can't touch in Mexican food.

It is called Kraft Dinner up here, or simply KD. Seeing some of the clips in this video, I'm wondering when the US Kraft stopped labelling it as such.

Like the discontinued Kraft Chicken Noodle Dinner. Thye need to bring that back!

Yeah....listening to my fiance wax poetic about the stuff he used to eat growing up in Manilla and all I can do is O_o At least now I know why he doesn't share my love for Kraft boxed mac n cheese...(I'm American btw)

🫂

Fuck man, if you don't mind me asking how did she die?

@@hidingbehind7256 probably of carbon monoxide; our house burned down, I prefer to believe she was already gone before the flames reached her, though we'll never know for sure. The family cat habitually slept with her and couldn't be found afterwards, so he likely died too.

The point of the critics soliloquy at the end of Ratatouille, even the simplest food can be a comfort and have deep meaning. The antithesis of this is some antisocial snob screaming at people for not being a 3 star Michelin meal all the time…looking at you, Gordon Ramsay…

Cheese. Factory. No, my brain cannot process...

@@JohnArktor They would let us eat the cheese whenever we wanted, I remember the cheddar being really good.

This sound ? Sppruuurtttppfrrt :Vomits:

Mine is switching out the milk with canned tomatoes. Laurie from Red Deer AB.

The national dish of Canada is poutine

Canadian here, can confirm we call it Kraft Dinner or simply KD

@@ElectricAssssss Sweet, thanks! It is interesting that it is so popular it even has its own initials there. Is Wilbur Soup a real type of soup?

_They’re all delicious in their own way!_ And that's what makes it great.

Yep! He's my favourite weird guy.

You guys are the only ones who call it Kraft dinner. We just call it macaroni and cheese.

@@pdxdonut the product is literally called "Kraft Dinner" or "KD" in Canada. It's not just a nickname, they market it up here with a completely different name even though its essentially the same product.

@@fireshorts5789 Seeing some of the old footage in the video, it seems it use to be called Kraft Dinner in the US as well. Curious when they stopped doing that and we veered in different directions.

@@jkwacker8225 Maybe it wasn't sold as a jello to my understanding most food in America in the 1970s was in jell-o form for some reason and maybe noodles don't hold up well in a jello mould. You used to have to go to a restaurant for something like a pork chop because your wife would serve it to you raw and it's either get worms listen to her cry for a week or go to the diner for something as simple as a sloppy joe. Otherwise it's a jello fish smiling at you. I'm talking peaches stuffed with mayonnaise. Horrors beyond belief.

@@jkwacker8225Probably the magic of localized focus groups.

Like a Mac & cheese popsicle?

@@oldtruthteller2512 Nono its still the expected mac when you cook it, its just people tend to look down on the frozen brands like stouffers but this one is super legit.

@Cionyl My mother did a lot of 'from scratch' cooking in the 70s and 80s. Her Mac & cheese was just fine by me.

Burger King had a version of fries that you basically shook in that cheese powder. i was a fatty so of course I had them 😂😭

That’s awesome, thanks. When we talk about Caesarian section births we’ll be sure to mention Caesar’s massacre of a million plus people in Gaul 🙄

@@achilles4242 I mean if you want, go ahead 🤷‍♀️

Kraft Dinner, eh

Kraft dinner is a staple in every 90’s kids diet

Well, James L Kraft is actually Canadian! I’m a descendant of one of his sisters!

that must be the poor man's poor meal

@@rgerber People mock spam. The other day I had fancy $20 a pound steak. Next week I'll eat spam and potatoes. It's a different flavor sorry you don't understand that. You remind me of white people trying to make enchilladas not understanding why they're gross because they're making white people enchilladas because they gate keep what ingredients they think are allowed to be used. For example I've never seen a brown person eat a whole wheat tortilla in my life that's the silliest thing I've ever seen. I'd bet a solid $50 I have a better pallet then you but good luck shaming ingredients then paying restaurants $ not understanding why you can't get flavor at home with your limited small mind.

And it’s amazing

...or even just "K.D."
