We do chili mac!! I box mac n cheese to one can Hormel chili with beans and 4 hot dogs ( I like a ton of hot dogs in mine ) you can also add extra shredded cheese

@grob you’re the first person I’ve ever heard this recommendation from lol everyone always thought it was weird. I use the mallet brand my favorite is the jalapeño hot or the thick options in that brand.

@lyle4jordan So when we were still dating my now husband had brought me a Tupperware of this and I was like "wtf is this!!" And was so hesitant to try it but I'm glad I did I freaking love it minus adding extra cheese I feel like it gives it a weird texture sometimes

 

[lyle4jordan]

@grob that was the same situation I was in haha my boyfriend at the time and his dad introduced it to me. I had the same reaction. The only extra cheese I add is into the chili so it melts before adding it to the Mac and cheese so there no weird texture.

@lyle4jordan oooh I gotta try it that way!!!

Tuna Mac. You make it like normal then you add a can of tuna

 

[veracity137]

@sl4mmer I like to add frozen peas in with the tuna and when making the Mac and cheese I add sour cream and shredded cheddar/parm cheese.

 

[sl4mmer]

@veracity137 yum

We always love chili Mac! It’s so good. I personally add fresh cheese to the Chile. That’s actually the next thing I wanted to make. You could also make chili Mac smothered hotdogs for a delicious twist on chili dogs.

The trick for boxed mac and cheese is add 1 slice of kraft singles, per box Its a game changer. I add ground beef and bacon bits makes the cheesy bacon cheeseburger.

@trav11 My 10 year old great grand daughter showed me this trick, and it works.
