    According to the side of the Kraft box, I’m a family of 4.

      Zoidberg, you are a sea creature, you can probably handle a little under twice the salt a human can.

    We made Macaroni and Cheese, Peas, and Bacon tonight.

    That wasn’t a picture of tonight’s. It’s an older picture. Looks the same though.

    I wrote up the recipe a few years ago to add to the knowledge base at work, and I included a suggested serving size:

    Customary serving size: enough to make you feel unwell, then 1 helping more

    Edit:

    If you want the recipe:

      So, I have to ask, why peas? It’s not something I would think to add to mac and cheese.

        Because vegetables make the carbs, cheese, and bacon not count. It’s a balanced diet!

          If you just pour some green sprinkles on it then it’s essential the same thing as peas as green sprinkles are the same color as peas.

        In my wife’s family putting peas in it is my a time-honored tradition. They even sing a little song: “Eat that mackie cheese and peas,” or “Eat that mackie cheese, no peas,” depending. Especially camping - they use dried peas which get rehydrated by the time it’s cooked. The one additive they also like that I can’t stand is tuna. In a sandwich, great, but not in my mackie cheese pleeeze.

        Peas (fresh or frozen) are nice and bland without being gross about it. You can add them to all kinds of stuff and forget they’re even in it. Soup, pot pies, mashed potatoes, anything with gravy or cheese, meatloaf, etc.

        It just goes really well. The sweet of the peas balances the salt in the bacon.

          Fair enough, I’ll have to give it a try next time I make mac and cheese.

            Remember to throw bacon on top of the peas ;-)

      It’s an older picture.

      But it checks out.

    This is true. There is no such thing as having too much mac and cheese.

    Easiest mac and cheese recipe that is both cheap and nearly perfect

    https://www.seriouseats.com/ingredient-stovetop-mac-and-cheese-recipe

    Ingredients:

    • mac
    • cheese
    • evaporated milk

    Easily beats kraft for flavor. Not QUITE as cheap but pretty damn close. Same cooking time, lower effort.
