Thanksgiving isnt Thanksgiving without mac and cheese

Lies....it needs cornbread dressing to seal the deal

I agree with op.

On my list of must haves at Thanksgiving/Christmas, mnc is well below stuffing, yams.

I've had what people claim is great mnc to what people claim is awful mnc.

It's all rather meh to me, but I also don't love cheese like that either.

Some folks don't like cheese so they won't love MNC not matter what.

I love Mac N Cheese with jalapeños. The peppers break up the monotony. Gotta use sharp cheddar..maybe even some gouda or pepper jack.

Gouda is WAY to overbearing for mac.

This is what the Bible meant when God said in the last days evil will be looked at as good and good as evil. nikka really sat there and tried to convince us Mac and Cheese is trash for his own amusement
