Macaroni and cheese: Boxed with powdered cheese, boxed with “premium” cheese sauce, or made from scratch? Elbows, shells, or other pasta type?

Made from scratch, it's simple: Radiatori, milk, few slices of american, some good cheddar and it's ready in a few minutes.

The directions for making your own cheese sauce usually seem inadequate to me. I just have to remember bread crumbs from now on, now matter which way you mentioned.

Powder cheese is 356765x better than the sauce but I'm sure homemade is the best

I'll eat and enjoy pretty much any mac and cheese. You can drop it on the floor and it's still not a deal breaker.

Made from scratch. It isn't that difficult, just need to make a roux, mix in heavy cream and grate some cheese in.

When my dad makes it it's a lot better than the boxed stuff. Except this one special flavor of boxed stuff I had once that that was absolutely delicious that I forgot what the brand/flavor was. =/ No preference on the pasta shape.

it is so easy to make it yourself, why bother with a mix? Mac and Cheese is an all time classic. it is rich, delightful, yummy and savoury. I do it with a good measure of freshly ground black pepper on top. And I use Parmigiano. It's so delicious when cooked with it. And I replace the Macaroni with Penne. When I feel extravagant I do make the sauce also with a dash of white wine.

I'd rather make it from scratch tbh. i've never had mac and cheese from the box but the idea doesn't sound too appealing

I do like the cheddar cheese sauce I make but boyyyyy it packs a lot of cheese in it. Tesco finest pecorino and black pepper sauce is better than mine though.

Never mind race court, my YouTube channel will be Mac and Cheese Court where I look at people's recipes and try to have them jailed over some choices...anyway, made from scratch, ideally elbows but pretty much any medium-sized pasta will do - orzo would be too small and I think anything bigger than say, penne is too big
