@Miss Ann Thrope,

I’ve heard of fried mac and cheese but have never tried it. I think one of the fast food places does it now too. I just don’t know how they do it. Do you make a patty out of it and cover it with breadcrumbs and then fry it? It sounds a lot like deep fried snickers bars to me! There’s enough fat to clog a horses arteries in the mac and cheese without frying it!

I thought about putting breadcrumbs on the top, but didn’t at the last minute. I love that part too.

Oh and um (haha!) I love it with the breadcrumb topping. Best part if you ask me.

Ok, done now.

Oh and I buy the shredded versions of the cheese…sargentos…when it goes on sale buy 1 get 1 free at the store. The 12 oz packs.

The cream cheese really seems to give it just the thing…oh and I always put in a pinch of cayenne.

I use a mild white cheddar, monterey jack and medium yellow cheddar. I often put some parmesan in there too.

I always use elbows cuz…um…cuz. I never thought about it. I’m going to do the shells because I can see how there would be lots more cheese on the pasta.

My sil fries leftover mac and cheese. I’m afraid to try it…sounds kinda blechy.

I’ve never seen a roux like it either, and it wasn’t pasty like a traditional roux. It made the sauce very loose, but it tightened up in the oven. This was more like a diner mac and cheese with the american cheese, which was what I was after this time but I want to try more variations. I bet your three cheese one is great! What cheeses do you use?

The girl has been bugging me to make mac and cheese. Mine consists of 3 different cheeses plus a little bit of cream cheese. I was supposed to cook it for her this week but I don’t want her catching whatever plague Bill has.

I’ve never seen a roux that isn’t half fat, half flour.
