I lost my recipe thread so I'll start fresh. Thanks for the French Toast ideas.

Now I'm looking for unique ways to improve your standard macaroni & cheese.

Besides adding hot dogs.

a pinch of good paprika. a little bit of grated onion. bread crumbs on top. green rotini instead of macaroni.

perhaps some fresh herbs.

always baked. real macaroni, not kraft dinner.
 
Fresh herbs, (basil, rosemary are my favs) garlic, red onion, aged white cheddar and white truffle oil. Of course parmesan and bread crumbs mixed in and on top to make it nice and crispy. I remember seeing a recipe online (probably epicurious) once but just took the ingredients I liked and have been adjusting to taste ever since. :)
 
A little crab or lobster meat mixed in. Try some difference cheeses besides cheddar. Pepper Jack or Havarti works well.
 
Some great ideas that I like:

Add Bacon or Italian Sausage or other spicy meat, some fresh green onion etc. Then Bake for 20 mins on 350.

I found a recipe on epicurious that uses blue cheese that was very good. But I am looking forward to trying some of these ideas. Thanks.
 
You can't improve mac and cheese. Make it differently good perhaps, but perfection does not admit improvement.

Add some Dijon mustard, Gruyere, and Brie (with the rind removed). Baked of course. It's sort of a French Macaroni & Cheese - got the recipe off Rachael Ray and made it a few weeks ago. Very yummy! :-)
 
Well...I have never ever tried a better mac and cheese than the one at Nero's, Caesar's Palace, Las Vegas.......You honestly melt when you try it....I took a date there and i ordered it as a side...and she was like mac and cheese???? The WAITER told her not to laugh, he did the first time he heard it on the menu and the chef made it for him and he never questioned the chef again.......

They use Vella jack cheese and shredded serrano ham.....u can get both at metro..I never got it to taste the same..but try...it still tastes great...

Also, next time any of you are in vegas...do it...I personally promise you that u will love

(even my date fell in love with it)

I've been trying to think of a way of answering this question... I can only think of one way to improve your standard macaroni & cheese meal, and that is to NOT USE standard macaroni & cheese...
