I love macaroni and cheese, especially with extra ingredients like meats or breadcrumbs.
I love pasta in general, but for some reason I never liked mac and cheese. I don't know why because it has two ingredients that I love.
I make macaroni cassaroles, with milk, eggs, even put fish in it sometimes!
I think since the only mac and cheese I have ever tasted was from a box, it just wasn't as good. If I ever get a chance to taste homemade mac and cheese, I think I would really like it.
I think to some it is a comfort food from childhood, I like to experiment with different pastas, cheeses and toppings.
Putting breadcrumbs on it sounds really good. I like to experiment with different pastas as well. It's so easy to do and hard to mess up.
Macaroni and cheese
Macaroni and cheese—also called mac and cheese or mac n cheese in American and Canadian English, macaroni cheese in the United Kingdom—is a dish of English origin, consisting of cooked macaroni pasta and a cheese sauce, most commonly cheddar. It can also incorporate other ingredients, such as breadcrumbs, meat and vegetables.
Traditional macaroni and cheese is a casserole baked in the oven; however, it may be prepared in a sauce pan on top of the stove or using a packaged mix.
Macaroni casserole
Macaroni casserole is a baked macaroni casserole. It is especially known as a staple in northern European home cooking. It is a dish of cooked macaroni and a mixture of egg and milk with additional ingredients like meats, vegetables or fish. It is commonly made with cheese and/or breadcrumbs sprinkled on top.
The dish is reminiscent of a frittata, with the main difference being that it is baked entirely in the oven. It is usually eaten with ketchup.
